Sweet ride. I'm a fan of the black t/a's.
Anyway just in my opinion I don't like the firebird formula. If I were you I would get a nice high rise T/A spoiler on there. Looks A LOT better, but keep the stock formy one in case you ever sell. May hold value a little better.

I really like the car. Personally I also like the T/A spoilers on the formys but I would leave yours on there, that way those stangs that are behind you on the highway will think your a six and try to go and by that time it'll be to late.HAHA. Really I just wouldnt mess with a car that rare.

That is exactly what my '96 WS6 formula looks like, well except for the engine compartment pic 
I have '96 tail lights and a hard top, same color car.
One question, what is up with the ram air box? Mine doesn't look anything like that. My factory box has louvers across the filter area as well as a rubber gasket all the way around the box that seals it to the hood. Is that a replacement box?

I haven't got around to cutting any of the louvers off my ar box lid myself, but I stuck my gaskets on the underside of the hood. This is what SLP's instructions recommended, and I think that gives a better look in the engine bay.

Thank You for all the replies... 
now to answer the questions...
LS-1 (honey comb) tail lights, thats it
cut out a big rectangle from the air box
no "Ram Air" bages b/c a previous owner had very minor damage from someone backing into it
exhaust: 3'' pipe from the cat-back over the axle. into a "Y-pipe" into two 2.5'' sweet thunder cambered mufflers (18 inches) then to the two 2.5'' slash cut tips....
