Default formula front bumper cover???

lately i've been tossing around the idea of swapping my TA front bumper cover for a firebird/formula front bumper cover, after seeing dopefedz's setup i think it looks extremely clean with the TA rear bumper/side skirts... my only concern is if it is a direct swap, and if anybody has any more pics of this, post them up!

It is a direct swap. If your interested in trading I have a NBM Formula cover that I want to trade for a T/A cover. Where are you located? This can save us both some cash for paint!

Yeah it's a direct swap aside from the different light fixtures. You guys would save on a lot more than just paint if you traded... I'm swapping out formula parts for T/A parts, just not the front clip (same thing, different starting point), haven't traded and I have all the formula pieces in the garage.. it seems the front clip is the only part that people are undecided on which looks better.

Do you have any pics of the finished product?

Or, what we should all do is get a GP going on this... j/k

I did the opposite of what you're doing. Here's what mine looked like before...crooked messed up gfx....which were a constant problem with repairs etc.




And after taken 2 weeks ago.

DopeFedZ's looks great, but I think his hood, wheels, and color bring it out so much more. You would at least need the WS6 hood, and maybe widen your WS6 wheels then your car would look SICK. I think having the TA front bumper is what makes our sleek beaks look good, formula's with stock hoods look plain.
