I think someone bumped it right before I bought it because the spiderwebbing started developing a few months after i bought it. Hopefully get it repainted sometime this summer

Ahh that's cool. I had a slight bump with a trailer hitch so I need to get my bumper repainted and replace the grill. Got the grill already just need a time to get sprayed. Which is not too bad since the previous owner's bra burned the paint on the sides somehow.

I've had my car for 3 years, 3 months and 1 day.

It's been an awesome car, wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it over again. Although, I'd be a little wiser about the mods I put on the car. I've modded it 4 different times now...

Happy Anniversary.

Honestly i prefer the formula front end to the T/A front end for some reason. All it needs are some new wheels and a nice hood. Looks very nice though.

Thanks , as far as wheels and hood goes, my plans are black ZR1s (no polished lip) 315s out back. And a raptor hood with blackbird stripes to complete the look. But as everyone knows, that ***** expensive!

I had to wait 5 years to buy my TA. I will have owned her for two years in august (got her on my 21st B-day). And I don't plan on parting with her ever, if I have my way about things.

Keep that formy looking nice.

For your car, I'd go with the black ZR1's with the red lip. Would accent the car really well.

Do they actually make them with a red lip? I never thought of that but it would look badass. Any pics of these?

And thanks for the compliments about the interior, most people don't like the red.

Hey Luna, did your Formula come with that "Formula" back plate between the rear taillights or did you get that somewhere else? Every Formula I've ever seen including mine has "Firebird" there. I'd love to change mine out though if its possible.

I see sets on ebay every now and then, but you could do it yourself if you had to.

I did replace it with a decal, I got it from shawn @ fourthcircledesigns. I don't think he actually has them on his website. But if you e-mail him he can make you one. Just be careful to take your time putting it on since it won't line up exactly like the word firebird will.
