hell yeah or hell no, hatch swap on ta...

Just wondering what everyones opinion is on swapping a high rise hatch, for a formula / v6 hatch. I have seen a few people do this and it looks great on their cars, but I'm not thinking its a good look when I look at my car now. I think the v6 hatch flows better, but then I miss the high rise. The high rise is back on for the moment and I'm contemplating about selling the low hatch now. Imaging that the edges of the hatch werent all worn to the fiberglass. what do you think?

It's whatever you like, I like the way a trans am looks and i like the way a formula looks. Never really cared for the high rise on formulas though.

I have a Firebird.. (Used to be a V6 but now it's an LS1)... It has a Ram Air hood but I held off on the High Rise because I wasn't sure of it. The more I think about it and look, I think I'm just going to leave it the way it is. I like the High Rise, but something about it makes me "iffy" on getting it.

So I guess my vote goes for the V6/Formula hatch. Keep the High Rise in case you want to switch it up and have a definite decision..

Go high rise. The low rise doesn't like right with all the ground effects on the car.

I like the low rise on there!

Are you come to the TA Nationals in Dayton next weekend? If so I would be very interested in the TA hatch!

BTW how big of a PIA is it to change???

or there's also the option of a different spoiler, like the newer Firehawks have with the leds/brake lights going across. stay away from the lumpy though.
