Default formula appearance mods..........

The reason I ask is because I have b/w 700 - 900 to spend, and I was thinking of a ram air hood, or anything else. I am also looking for black ZR-1's, 17x9.5 and 17x11's for my Maple Red Formula. I don't ever race, more of less just cruise around. It is starting to look a little too plain for me. Ofcouse if I got a WS6 hood, I would get silver or black blackbird stripes put on.

Wheels will give you more impact than the hood. Don't do the ram air hood if you still have 16" stock wheels, that looks kinda silly.

Personally, I don't like Camaro wheels on a Formula. That color you have would look much nicer with chrome or polished wheels.

I agree with Tony, I am not a fan of Camaro wheels on Firebirds and the other way around for that matter.
On Formulas I am a fan of a clean 5 spoke design, like the ROH ZR6 or something like that. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Get CETA rims if you want black 5 spokes, those are clean......and yes def. lower it and rim it b4 you get the hood. Black rims with the maple body would look killer IMO.
