Try to get the hatch struts as well. I have heard the Formula struts won't hold the T/A hatch up as well. IDK though, I never done the swap.

I actually would like this...do you have some pics? The TA spoiler isn't bad looking, just a bit gaudy for my taste.

I like the Formula lines, it does look better with the WS6 hood and 17" rims though.

Lots of angles here:

To the OP, I have seen a TA wing on a Formula. They look pretty good, but I would spend the money on a hood and wheels.

Thanks!! Nice car, you've done some good work to it. You swapped the bumper too? Looks real clean with those CCWs!

Thanks on the props.

No, it is the stock body on it a I took delivery in 98. There were some WS6 Formula's built. Not many though. Some thing like 650 98/99/00 combined. Only 175 in 99.

They were Formula's with WS6 exhaust, hood, suspension and rims/tires. Weighed about 70lbs less than a TA and about $3.5k less to buy.

Lots of choices out there for hoods. I like the WS6 style myself. There are several that look good though, it is a matter of taste.

Maybe make a post asking for people to post pics of different hoods on Formula's to get you the best idea of how it would look on your car.

Off the top of my head:

WS6
Firehawk
HO
WS9 Outlaw

Still more, but those are my favourites.

Being that you are in Illinois, you will have easy access to all of them. lots of performance shops in your area.

These guys have SLP and VFN.
