There is nothing wrong with putting a WS6 hood on a Formula. There were WS6 Formula's built, but they are far more rare than a WS6 TA.
Try putting some wheels on, lowering it, and then see how you feel. If you still don't think it's flashy enough, put TA bumpers on it.

to be honest its better they dont put the high rise spoiler. thats what keeps the formula a formula other then the front bumper. most of the time you just see people putting a ws6 hood and thats about it. if anything i see a lot of trans am guys putting formula bumpers on.

Also for the fact its so freakin rare, thats a plus.
The only time ive seen Formula bumpers on is for clearence when racing, and I am talking 8.50 index racing. and the exhaust doesnt exit the to the bumper any more.

^^^ i was talking about the front bumpers. i should have clarified that. i understand the rear bumper thing because a lot of guys need clearance for wheelie bars but ive even seen guys just cut out the license or ceta part to make it fit. yeah ive seen people do a complete covnversion but i mean a lot of the formula guys just throw a ws6 hood and rear bumper. thats what i see being the most common. just my personal opinion..... i like the formula front bumpers a lot more then the t/a bumpers.

Are you guys saying you have never seen a WS6 Formula.
Anyway To the OP
Get some wheels, find something you like but don't be afraid to be different.
Look into a WS6 style hood and then do some black bird stripes on it.
Nice thing about White is you can go almost any color on the stripes.

black bird stripes? i was thinking about putting some kind of stripes on there, not sure what black bird is but i was thinking, if i do that is STICKER or PAINT the way to go?
another thing i was considering was tinted windows, i got the car used and the windows are tinted, but it looks like crap in the inside, good on the outside but the inside is blurry for the back window and on the driver and passenger side you can see like little tiny ripples or a small tear here and there.
another thing, anyone know where i can get the light for my stock cd deck display? i cant see the clock in the daerk but in the light i can see it barely...anyone know how to fix that?

Go with a vinyl. It's cheap, and easy to change if you don't like it.

IMO The Navy Blue would look great on a White Car

personally painting the stripes is the way to go but it will cost you some money. the mecham hood is my favorite hood but from what i hear it requires a lot of work and most shops wont touch it. lower the car, rims, tints, ive also like when the sail panel and mirrors are done in black and the top of the spoiler and the ceta mod aswell.
