its a love hate thing but myself i think it looks good but others will disagree because the formula rear bumper lines dont suit it. ill be picking up a 95 t/a parts car and im going to do a comparison on my formula with the highrise hatch itself and then with the t/a rear bumper included. i know the the ls1 formys can get away with using the side skirts but right now i dont feel to confident they will flow with the lt1 formys front bumper.

I'm not a big fan of it unless there is a TA bumper along with it. If you like it, go for it though.

IMO I think it looks bad. To me I would rather have the Ta rear bumper on my dumdumdumdumdum.

Another option is the stick on lip on the dumdumdumdumdum hatch.

Keep in mind you have to swap the whole hatch...you cant just *** the wing to yours. But its well worth it IMO...I hated the V6 spoiler on my Formula Hawk.

I'm biased, but I like the Formula hatch - the high spoiler is really heavily identified as a Trans Am part. The low spoiler indicates that I drive a Formula. To dress up the rear, I went with the T/A rear bumper... it really makes the car look nicer and more "finished" IMO.

I agree. I think it looks good! Formybird's car looks great w/ the spoiler & body colored filler panel (which I'm not usually a fan of), but they go together for a really nice look! I've seen the t/a bumper on formulas before, but not the t/a spoiler & stock bumper. I say go for it! Be different, it looks good!
