don't get the car that you want to "convert" into something its not
either buy the thing and be happy, or search for what you want.

Formula WS6s are rarer than T/A WS6s, keep it that way.
But yes, the bumpers and gfx should just swap over.

Formy WS6's are rare and people usually like them the best.

Don't buy it to convert it.

Don't buy a Formula WS6 just to convert it to a Trans Am WS6. It's an extremely rare car to begin with (about 200 - 250 were made each year between 1998 - 2000). Anyhow there should be a ton of Trans Am's around, and if there aren't many TA WS6's around where you are there still should be a ton of regular Trans Am's around.

Both a Trans Am WS6 and Formula WS6 are the same car in the performance department. The differences will only be in options like leather interior and some Formula WS6's have the 1LE package.

I don't understand if you just want a Formula WS6 and then add a T/A spoiler + ground effects, or you just want to convert it to a T/A WS6? If its the latter, like others have said, just get a T/A WS6, there are plenty of those compared to the Formulas. The T/A parts will fit on a Formula, they both have the same body.

You can convert, but when you do the math on the price of parts to do the swap plus paint, you could have bought the "REAL" WS6 for less. Good luck.

Do what you want, it'll be your car. Personally I wouldn't convert it. If you want to do all of that you might as well buy a base T/A and put a WS6 hood on it.

My car is a WS6 Formula, according to the title, but has Trans Am written all over it. What is the difference?
