Default Trans Am to Formula

My 1998 ta is pretty much a race car now, and ive always like the ws6 formula look over the TA look for some reason, I know ill probably get bashed for this. but if I were to convert to a formula/firebird body would anyone want to trade parts? also if i took the side skirts off would there be holes in the bottom of the door area? thanks

it will look good either way even though i think the t/a looks more aggresive. i am sure you wont have a problem trading parts, and yes there will be holes below the doors on your car. you can either have them welded up or put firebird ground effects all the way around the car. most importantly do it the way you want it, in the end it is still your car.

I just finished my conversion. Did the hatch this past September and the front bumper 3 weeks ago. I got the hatch from a member in WV. He's making his T/A into a formie. If you want to trade door badges let me know . I will need the T/A ones.

On another note where in SC do you live? My boyfriend and I might be moving there shortly if he gets the manager position at FedEx he just applied to.
