Default 00-02 TA front/back on a 95 formula?

I found a good deal on a 95 formula but i've never liked the fronts. What are the differences body wise from a 95 formula to a 00-02 WS6 and can I put the front fascia and rear facia on a 95 formula from a 00-02 WS6? thanks guys.

Front bumper, front fenders, hood, head light assemblies, side skirts, rear bumper, and rear hatch.. and yes you can swap them all out. But with all the good deals lately on 98-02's, it would be alot easier to just save up for the car you really want. Not to mention it would be alot cheaper.

Well I found a 95 formula minus eng and trans which is what i want anyways cause i'm gonna put an LS3 in it. But the body looks good trying to get more pics, he want $300. So if the interior is decent and body is good can't beat that offer.

I know the front bumper, hood and probably the rear bumper is different. But is the hatch and fenders different also?

Yes, the trans am hatch is different from the formulas. The formula came with a low spoiler (just like a regular firebird) the Trans Am came with a high rise spoiler and makes a huge difference on the car. Here is a picture of my formula before and after.

honestly, just buy a ls1 t/a with very high mileage. i've seen them with a $3k price tag.

Although, if you do convert that formy, you could paint it the color of your choice, since theres no way to replace half the panels and make it look right without whole new paint. But a good paint job alone is at least 5k....

i knew a guy in phoenix who had a 95 formula with a 98 T/A front clip, gfx, rear bumper and spoiler. i think he bought a car with a blown motor for around $1000 and swapped everything. i don't remember his name but he might be on here.

You can find tons of rollers. You can save a lot of time by doing do. Plus you are probably going to have to do some paint to a 95. Swapping panels over is going to make it worse cause it probably won't match.
