Can you see out the window with all the stickers! J/k!
Looks like a real clean car. My hood looks alright on it but on the LT1s Trans ams and formulas, I'm fond of the single front of the hood mounted ram air. Like from the factory. But if you like it go with it.
Of course lower it and put some wide tires in back.
Then start on the good stuff like LT header, cam, underdrive pulley, and power adder of your choice. Just my $.02

beautiful car man! i love the look of the LT1 formulas. the only complaint i would have is that it doesn't have the 96-97 style ram air hood, which i think looks much better on those cars. but thats a personal preference thing. aside from that though, it looks awesome! no badging and no side molding on the side really makes it look clean. now i'm thinking about removing the side badges on my formula (i've already removed the moldings).
i checked your cardomain website, and the only other suggestion i would have would be to remove the formula decal and the firebird decal on the center panel between the tail lights. with the firehawk rims and the moldings off the side, your car looks so fluid and smooth. the decals on the back detract from that (except for the "pontiac" infill). it's a perfect example of "less is more". but this is one of the best looking LT1 firebirds i have ever seen.

I hate when people call my car a T/A. 
It's a Formula. I know I can't be the only one that feels this way.

Nice Formy... looks great.
And no, you're not the only one who gets upset when somebody calls your car by the wrong name.
I was crusing along NewPorche Beach the other day and right in front of me was an "arrest me red" Viper, but a bunch of guys were looking and pointing at what? My car!!
It made me feel really good to have my little old Trans AM (which was much louder, since his exhaust was stock) overshadow a Viper for a second. Then, the crushing blow... the surfer dude says, "Yeah, that's a kick *** Camaro."

I don't have the ground defects and big spoiler that the T/A comes with either. 
Still looks like a Formula to me.
i just meant that to most people all firebirds are t/a's and that hood is a t/a characteristic. some people dont even know what a formula is, i went to best buy with my friend and he told the dude he needed a harness for a 96 formula, the dude looks at him and says, oh? those are street legal?
so all i meant by the hood was some people are less informed.
