One year later, she's beautiful It's amazing what not much money, and a little time and effort can do! I just need to sit and polish that filler panel and get that headlight gap fixed 
Next up, some BMR lowering springs
Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks guys!
At first I was unsure about it, but I'm really digging the mini-ceta (did it on Thursday) I've thinking of putting a T/A hatch on it, but I'm not sure if I will, the birdbath has grown on me lol
I decided to go with the 10 spokes because imo they're the best looking factory wheel. If I had money I'd have some 18" Fikse fm5's but you know...
Now all I need is a hood and an overlay for the front license plate filler

Shes a beauty. I like the simple lines of the formula, keep the birdbath. I had polished 10-spokes on my T/A for a while, it looks good on yours with the chrome. Lower it like an inch and it will be perfect.
Skip the hood. Car looks sleaker with the stock hood. I believe that the stock hood looks better in general, but if you put it next to a RamAir hood (or, for example, on a fbody website) everyone's naturally attracted to the more extreme look.
FWIW, I'm prolly in the minority on this one on this site.

T/A hatch looks like garbage on the Firebird/formula body. Car looks good! Very similar to my Formula. I would say lower it and polish the rear filler panel to remove the fading bird decal.

Before Hood n' Hatch:
After:After Hood n' Hatch
Old pics before I dropped it and Emblems/BB stripes.
How does this looks like Garbage?!
Personally I couldnt think of a better car to put all these great parts on! Mine!
Its sad when in the end its pretty much the same power plant. the Shell is barely different than one another. Everyone agrees, the low hatch keeps water, and the High Rise has the "coolness" factor. To each their own.
I say find you a T/A hatch for 2 main reasons.
1. Sooner or later that seal at the bottom of the window WILL give out, and then your rear floor pannel will be wet for who knows how long. Hasnt happend to me but my Step Mothers 95 V6 Firebird did. Lucky they caught it before any major damage.
2. I found mine already painted same color as the car with a busted window for 150 bucks. Took my window outta my Formula hatch and had it put in the T/A one and had it installed for round the same price. 300 bucks Easly done and not hard on the pocket.
