Default how should i badge my car

as some of you know I have a 94 formula.

I am almost done doing a trans am conversion ie front and rear bumpers, sideskirts, and rear wing.

my dillema is how should i badge the car when it is done.

If i badge it a formula then it might throw people off cause it looks like a T/A.

If I badge it a trans am then it looks like what it is badged as but it is not what the car is.

I am not badging it as a ws6 or anything like that, its just what name to put on the door.

thanks for your opinions.

Ive dropped a TA wing and WS6 hood on my Formula. Im keeping the Formula Badge on the side because thats what it started out as and just because I put a diff. hood and hatch on it doesnt make it something else. None of that WS6/7/9 badging for me. Formulas are more rare than TA's or WS6's and ya should respect that even if you do add upgrades. But to each their own. I had someone tonight at a car club get together ask me if mine was a Trans Am. Easily told em nope, its a Formula!

u can always go with no badging or molding on the side like sum of these guys have and i am goin to soon. That way u wouldnt have to worry about it and it gives the car alot nicer sleek look.

jjust debadge and roll no badges, make people wonder even more. Most will call it a Trans Am either way because spoiler and bumpers are more noticeable than emblems.

Most people around here will call Formula's, Trans Ams', and WS6's Trans Ams anyway. I say badge it however you feel like it. Badging it as a T/A will probably make it easier to explain.

ive seriously never understood why the hell people badge their cars of a different car. It doesnt make sense, are you ashamed of having a formula?!?! Sometimes people on here dont even make sense.
