NO, but only because I've never cared for how these cars look in drag to start with.

Drag or no, in every aspect where they differ, I prefer the Formula styling to the Trans Am. That being said, the thing about the Formula bumper with side skirts and T/A rear bumper is that it doesn't match them. I think it'd look better w/o the skirts and with the regular Formula rear bumper.

And for the record, I've owned two LT1 Formula hardtops and I'd never go back after owning a t-top car. Nothing like it on a nice day. But different strokes for different folks.

I'm the opposite, I think the T/A rear belongs on ALL the birds. I've yet to add the side skirts but with the superhawk hood up front the T/A rear is a nice balance. I'll agree the formula front needs a small flare out like the T/A front does to help it go with the side skirts but overall still looks good.

for the record, if you don't remember or didn't see my thread, the rear hatch is red and the rear bumper is blue with pealing clear, so till such time as I can afford a proper paint job, I have plasti-dipped the rear end of the car.
