Default Thinking about going to a formula rear bumper

I need a few good pictures, or at least opinions on how a formula v6 rear bumper would look on a black WS6 with big, and littles. If anyone has pictures, please post, or has seen this swap. Im just kinda sick of seeing my rear bumper with two big ports with no exhaust tips. I already know where the bumper is, and am a custom painter....so materials and painting isnt a problem.

I already have put the formula hatch on, i will get pictures tommarow. The low hatch looks really good, i wasnt digging the high wing bullshit. It got really old.

i got a black one if you feel like being lazy had the factory ground effects on it though so it has the little holes where they mounted it. if you want to know try looking for formula's with the high rise there are a few on here, that will give you some idea

I used to think that the wing looked good, before i owned it for a few years. Then it just became less and less of a big deal, and know it turns me way off. Trust me the *** end wont look jacked up with it, have you seen my car??? My torque arm is about 3 inchs of the ground. If it looked higher it would be a plus.
