)Not knocking your idea but it wont be a Formula just like adding a hood and badge wont make a regular T/A a true WS6.
A guy back home is actually in the process of doing the opposite of what you are doing. He wants the high rise spoiler and T/A front end.
On the LT1s I actually preferred the look of the formulas, especially the front end but not on the LS1s. IMO the T/As have the more agressive look that I like.
Good luck with your conversion.

I tried doing that on my 93 Trans Am. Problem is there will be a ton of holes all along the bottom of the doors that would cost a ton to fill and would make you have to repaint the whole car pretty much. On my 93 I would have needed two new front fenders too. Too much of a pain. I even had the front and rear bumpers in the correct color.
