Default I need an opinion on a trans am conversion

I have 98 formula firebird , i have bought a ram air hood for it aswell as a T/A front and rear bumper, I have the rocker moldings and the hatch. All i need is to get it put on and painted. Do u guys think is is stupid on tranforming my formula to a Transa am? could i call it a Trans am now ? Anybody here try this before?

Personally, I like the lines of the formula, and they look good with just the ws-6 hood. But it is up to you...if you like the Trans Am styling better, then go for it! It is a little late for this, but you could of bought GM ground effects for your formula too. They look nice as well. Would I call it a Trans Am? I would still call it a formula. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I like aspects of both. I plan on getting the rear bumber and ground fx from a T/A and putting it on my formula with a firehawk style hood. In my case, I'd still call it a Formula. In your case you might be able to get away with calling it a T/A or a T/A replica.

don't know how to post a pic but here is a link to the site where you can see pictures and buy them if you like. You got to click on firebird on the side bar once you get into the site and then click on firebird GT package

I like the TA over the Firebird, but since its your car, do what will make you happy.

And im w/ everyone else, I'd still call it a Formula. It may look like a TA, but its not, keep it honest <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I personally love the TA look over a formula, but really if I was you, i would've gone with the formula front bumper, TA rear bumper, WS6 hood, TA spoiler and maybe the ground effects too if i had the money.
