trans am hatch on formula

hey guy. sorry if this is the wrong section, but I just joined and picked up my 2001 formula m6 recently. I am interested in swapping the firebird hatch to a t/a hatch. Is there any special work required that I should know of ahead of time? also, I haven't been able to find many pics of a t/a hatch on a formula with the stock formula bumper. any pics would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think it's a big deal just need the whole entire hatch with wing
also get the hatch shocks it's probably needed because the TA hatch is heavier
than your Formula one.

i know the high rise off a trans am comes off, so id say a formula spoiler would come off to, just pop a high rise off and stick it on you formula hatch....

NO the TA high rise spoiler only works with the TA hatch
you need the whole thing it's not like a Camaro.

It is a fact that you need the whole hatch, not just the high rise spoiler.

Yes, you need the whole new trans am hatch. Plus you need the struts since the trans am hatch is heavier and the formula ones won't support it.
