I like the formula hatch...just looks clean and to the point. My TA has the firebird/formula hatch and have been considering finding a formula rear bumper, since i have no exhaust tips i think it will look cleaner.

Here's my '94 TA with the low spoiler. I like it but hate the bird bath thing.

I like the Formula hatch better unless you have the Trans Am ground effects to complete the look.

keep the t/a hatch. your car reminds me of the 96-97 firehawk when the t/a hatch was an option and it made the firehawks look so much better.

I just think my car slammed with the meaty rear tires from the rear would look sinister.

opinions? lol

Not to get off topic but what rims are those on your drag setup? Ive been wanting those forever. Also I like the Formula hatch better on the Formula.

I prefer the look of a T/A hatch but I just swapped over to a lowrise Formula hatch for weight, aerodynamics and my friend has a green formula so I didn't even have to paint it. LOL I think the firebird hatch is about 25#'s lighter then the T/A. My T/A hatch felt alot heavier then the low rise but the low rise didn't have tint or rear defroster either. later
