What would you do to my Bird Appearance wise?

I'm getting so tired of people saying TA front bumper, rear bumper, ground effects and hatch...basically telling you to turn your formula into a TA. It's a DAMN FORMULA. Put the TA hatch on it but leave the bumpers alone jesus.
My list would be in this order.
-wheels
-lower it
-TA hatch
-!moldings and !badges
Then move on to customizing the look. If you get TT2s like everyone and their brother suggests, paint the centers. If you get a wheel that will expose the caliper more, get a nice set of rotors and paint the calipers. Perhaps put a darker tint on the windows, I just love the blacked out look myself...
I'd definitely put the front license plate cover back on and perhaps throw an overlay on the bird, I hate the front plate law. I'd rather get a ticket then roll around without the cover. Otherwise just keep it clean. Everyone can attest that a clean stock car is WAY better then having a dirty ghetto looking hoopdy.

Wow! that's how to get responses to a thread.
I would go without the front plate and take my chances. I remember someone on here posting if you get stopped for it "slap the cop" but that might take away from your budget, it's up to you?
If you don't get stopped I would definitely do wheels and the T/A hatch is definitely nicer.

I think corsa/clones look great on a T/A rear bumper but aren't absolutely necessary a Firebird. What he has looks good from the side,just doesn't have the impact of a rolled lip when viewed staight on from the rear.

im sorry man, but can you tell me what hood exactly is on that car, cause its really sharp
i'd vht the markers, taillights. change up the wheels, trans am hatch, and those stripes aren't bad, but you could change those too if ya wanna. t/a rear bumper and ceta mod. 1 or 2" drop would look pretty nice too.

Heres what I would do:
-Darker tint
-Black out side markers
-Side molding black
-New rims (the ones that are silver, with black on the sides of each spoke, idk the name, but those are hot, they dont look too chromy and they have a hint of black)
-Superhawk or raptor hood (no stripes)
-TA hatch
-Paint calipers red or black
-Lower it
-Full HID conversion
-New corsa tips
-Black out tail lights and rear panel
-Fill in rear PONTIAC with black
-License plate filler with the front bird black
There is a formula for sale in my area, and he has the raptor hood with a TA hatch, and zo6 rims, and it is by far the sexiest f-body I have ever seen. Something about the firebird body with the custom hood, but still have the TA meaness with the hatch makes the car look so mean!

Keep the Formula hatch!
Don't try to make your car a Trans Am, Formys can more than hold their own with a well thought out look.
Tint windows (or darker if tinted).
Lower (Strano is a good drop for a DD).
Lose the hood stripes.
Get Blackbird charcoal hood stripes.
Delete the screaming chicken and Firebird script from the rear filler.
Ditch the side moldings.
Ditch the door Formula badges.
2OTL exhaust is pimp on the Formulas.
For wheels, I think the Z06 Spyder rims would be sick, but may not fit without work. Large/wide rear wheels on a Formy make it look like a street fighter with the low wing. Barring that I would go with charcoal TT2s as a cheap bang for your buck wheel.
Do not get a splitter.
Do not do a "CETA" mod.
Do not black out your tails or marker lights. That will just make them stand out more on a red car.
I guarantee satisfaction or your money back.
