Default Replace T/A front bumper over with Formula?

What do you guys think? My car is in my signature, and I always like how the ws6 formulas look like. And I was like hell, why not! ALso does anyone have pictures of a pewter ws6 formula?

No, I don't like that idea. Unless you get rid of all the other TA things except the hatch.

I would be keeping my ws6 hood, swapping out the front t/a bumper for the formula, removing the trans am logos on each door, and keeping the t/a wing.

You would also have to remove the side skirtz...that also makes the T/A.

If that is what you want.... I think it would look fine.

Just seems like a lot of trouble for such a little differance.

Actually if I do go through with the formula front bumper, I would keep the T/A side skirt, and back bumper.

Makes it more like the front end of a million other family sedans on the road. Why would you want that?
