I wanna swap out my hatch for a low rise, I've searched but I can find any pics with the low spoiler with a t/a bumper. Curious what it looks like before I do the swap. Anyone have it?

Not a huge fan of the look but pound for pound the car with the Formula hatch will go faster on the 1/4 mile then the high deck T/A hatch. A lot of this has to do with how fast the car is, and you will see a larger gap between the two.
There have been cars swapping hatches at the track same day and you can sometimes upwards of 1 mph and 1 tenth difference.

If youre doing the swap purely for cosmetic reasons that thats all you bud... If you think it will give you any performance advantage on your car, you are mistaken... it will yield ZERO performance gains...

Read, and with in the post check out the other link referencing the same question.
The gains are there but thats not asking if the performance gains out weigh the look, just saying if there is something to gain for not having the spoiler up so high.

Ain't that the truth, I used to have to use a whole towel just to dry it after a wash. I loved my vert, but always hated the decklid "spoiler", so glad I have a t-top now, the spoiler might be my favorite detail on the car.
