front nose cover, rear bumper cover, remove the side ground effects, and trade hatches with someone.

I also like the cleaner look of the Formulas too.

when you remove the ground effects from the sides you will have some pretty big holes where the ground effects mounted.

If you need a hatchback I have one off of a 2000 formula that is black. If you want to get rid of the t/a one then maybe we could work something out. Mine still has all the wiring, interior (dark grey I believe), and heated back glass. Just let me know. I'm like you I like the formula to but I do like the looks of the T/A spoiler though. I can e-mail you some pics if interested.

I also have a black rear hatch with a low spoiler. It's from a black 94 trans am(non-GT model) just sitting in my basement. Its been off since like 98 or so lol... If anyone wants it or the stock black trans am hood from 94 they are pretty much free to a good home. 50 bucks plus shipping for either.
