Yay or Nay?

I have a 2000 Formula and it is getting a fresh paint job of the factory Bright Silver Metallic. Now I have a complete T/A hatch sitting in my living room I was planning on putting on before it got painted, but now I am not so sure. I have the basic front end and the regular hood which are both staying on.

Here is a recent pic.

Should I throw it on there or keep it regular?

If you want to keep the Formula's stock, V6 appearance then I'd avoid the TA hatch. I myself am not a fan of the lowrise so I'd swap it in a heart-beat. It details your car's rear end better.

High Rise spoiler all the way. I love the way it looks. Put it on.

id keep it looking like a formula... maybe throw on a ws6 hood to give it a more aggressive appearance.. but keep the unique formula look. just my opinion..

If you're doing a hood too, I cast my vote for a Raptor. WS6 hoods are awesome, but won't match the understated lines of a Formie. Formula WS6s look awkward because of the contrast in detail between the rear and front ends.

A bit busy if you ask me.

Picture of the Raptor on a V6 (with a TA hatch). Very nice.

Only thing that would get done is the hatch.

Do you have a hard-top car? If you did, then I'd get a T/A front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts as well. Then you have yourself a hardtop Trans Am.
