Default formula ram air?

i'm sure you can but i want to know if it is possible to put a ram air hood and a t/a spoiler on a formula...how hard would this be, and how much would it cost...please post pics if you can...thanks

The hood should fit.

The hood fits, but the easiest way to get the T/A spoiler would be just to swap hatches.

I think that's the only way to do it. But the cost and possible hassle of finding a TA hatch and then painting it is hardly worth it IMO. I would just buy a RA hood, paint it and then call it a day.

Good Luck

yeah sorry but the only thing i hate about the formulas or any firebird is the non-t/a style spoiler...personally i think that is the worst design ever...it looks like crap imo...no offense to that that has it...

yea, i dont really like it either...but hey, somethings you just have to live with. as for the spoiler, the only way is to swap hatches. if you look at the formula, its on piece..where as the ta spoiler is not. im sure you could maybe put a ta one on a formula hatch, but that would just be gay..
