everything should bolt right up. you might have to do some adjusting of the hood and bumper so that they sit flush.

You'll need the lower air box of a WS6

You've never seen a Trans Am?

Formulas look great with WS6 hood, TA rear bumper and spoiler, and STOCK firebird front bumper IMO.

Not to take anything away from your excitement, but do a search for DopeFedZ as he has exactly that setup and it is F'n awesome.

Never seen one? Now you have!

And the hood is functional! Just need the taller lower air box/Upper Radiator support piece for the WS6 model. Runs round 90 bucks or so. You CAN cut the baffles outta your hood, but if you do alot of rain driving.. lets say its not a good thing. Gratz on your purchase! cant wait to see it on!

IMO you should leave the Formula front bumper with the WS6 hood I love that look! Don't make it into a wanna be TA love your Formula, the WS6 hood would look sick as hell on it .

Leave it a formula and only add the hood. A formula with a ws6/9 hood is sex! I also like this car. I forgot his name on here.

^ That's DopeFedZ's car they were talking about above. I think it would look best if you kept it like a formula with a TA rear bumper, spoiler, and WS6 hood!

Personally I say go with WS6 hood and hatch, and leave the rest of it alone! That's what makes it a Formula.
