I've been through it a while too. I ask you are you going to do any other appearance mods to help the theme? I decided to stay sleek. Otherwise its just going to be a sleek formula with a big wing. Which will have to be repainted and change the struts too. Is this going to be worth it in the end who knows. There was a member who did this a few months ago. Do a search and judge for yourself. And when your looking notice the bumpes size and how it does not match the spoiler.

ehh IMO its not the right look; you need the whole T/A body shtuff on it for the raised spoiler to work (visually). the formula is too clean to put that on; its just a completely different look.

I meant bumper size sorry. The size of the bumper on the pormula is disproportionate as compared to the larger TA bumper is all I'm saying.
