Dont think they make them for the formula, there is however the W68 front end similar to this, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/501008, or this http://www.sembmusclecarclub.com/for...-sale-15k.html

that is NOT the w68 front ground effect. The first link has a wings west formula/firebird ground effect. The w68 kit is two individual pieces that go on the left and right, not the whole front. The second link has the w68 kit.

If it did fit, it definitely wouldn't look right.

well since he has a firebird lip on a t/a id imagine a trans am lip would fit on a firebird. only thing is the radiator isnt going to be getting the amount of air that it use to, probably wont make a difference unless your sitting in grid lock for over an hour on a hot day

I believe that was the issue with the front lip from WW. It actually led to it overheating because it blocked the radiator. I believe they fixed it, but I'm not sure.

I think the WW T/A lip comes with a lower air dam to help get the air to the radiator. I think the Firebird lip on Formula-T/A's car looks really nice on a T/A and probably doesn't block the incoming air to the radiator since the middle section is open. Do you have anymore pics Formula-T/A (side or angle shots)?

Agreed!!! I am not a big fan of ground effects but I have always thought the WW Firebird lip looks better on a T/A than the normal WW T/A lip and after seeing Formula-T/A's pic I would really consider it. That is a really nice pic!! Formula-T/A, anymore pics?? Also, how is the ground clearance over speed bumps and driveways?

I dont know how you got it to fit, I ordered ww kit a while back. The place that ordered it ordered the wrong kit. Firebird not Trans am. It was to small....It wasnt by a big gap but it wouldnt go on. Your car looks good though.
