Default 1998 Firebird Formula modifications

Looking for pictures of a 1998 formula with a trans am front bumper, thinking about this modification. Also can a iroc style spoiler be installed some way on a formula?

No, you need the Trans Am hatch for that.

I've never seen a front TA bumper on a Formula model. I think it would be different but also there is a reason people don't put just a a front TA bumper on a formula it would look awkward. Also notice your hatch and spoiler is molded together and 1 piece. The trans am and iroc spoiler sit on top of a flat hatch and are 2 pieces.

The biggest thing is if you put a TA bumper on a Formula you need the TA side skirts and rear bumper or it'll look awkward.
