I think it would belittle this spoiler. But ive never seen the combo together. My thought was, if it would work with it, then why would GM put a formula bumper on the 2003 heritage car? That was actually the point that got me to switch to the formula bumper. im not bashing. Id have to see it. Im just saying, its really iffy. I feel the formula is more proportional for this modification.
Beautiful workmanship on your spoiler.

Going with a medium sized metallic flake corvette yellow paint job. With all black birds and trans am decal lettering. Red rear window sticker, red brake calipers. And red wire loom everywhere under the hood, along with my red and black Corvette fuel rail covers. Leaving interior ebony. Doing suede covering on the seats, red stitching. With the bird embroidered in seats and floor mats. Prolly red suede in the doors too. Red carpet. I already have the vents painted red, along with speaker covers, and a "Trans am" lettering decal siliconed just above the glove box.

Ok OP,
jus my suggestion,
1) Replace hood with a firehawk hood
2) Replace those autozone tips with anything else
3) Needs trans am vinyl on the spoiler
4) Paint over the firebird logo to match the exterior color to match the heritage ta rear
5) firebird/formula front end since u removed everything else, so it'll match
6) needs a real photo op with decent models & their *** prints on hood, and as always if they dont got **** then they are fired
other than that ur on the right track
p.s. not hating cuz its definitely different, but those tips gots to go.

Re the bumper mod, have you had success mixing poly with fiberglass? One is flex
ible, the other no so much. I am concerned about how that would work with road vibration and stress.
Have you shown at the FBody Gathering in Atlanta before? I would like to see your car in person there next Memorial Day weekend.

I love what you did. It's not something I would personally do, but I love the look. I think you're making a good move getting a Firehawk hood. The WS6 front is way too angular and edgy for how the rest of the car looks. The Firehawk front end will help smooth it out and blend it to the rest of the car.

Pending a deal to swap my WS6 for a firehawk hood! Local. Couldnt get luckier. The tips will be coming off, but not really soon. A Vinyl will be placed on the spoiler after paint. Check out my idea to modify the TA front bumper on page 1 of this thread. And u supply the girls, and ill bring the camera! ;P
need progress pix!!
