I've always loved Formulas so much more than T/A's, so I say go for it.

No way, that's the LAST thing I'd ever do to a Formula. If I get one, hopefully I will, I'll do two appearance mods: lower it, and add a Firehawk hood.

Yeah I get compliments all the time on my formula. She got 160k on the clock and still looks beautiful. I added the WS9 hood but would trade it for a firehawk hood and the uplevel spoiler. Added my custom made clear's that costed 2 bucks. then painted the wheel wells black and did silver overlays.

Formy with a high rise is the only way to go if your gonna convert it. 93-02 the firebird front looked better. WTF where they thinking with the lt1 ta front end is what I want to know, looks like a snow plow... Oh well.
