Default LT1 Formula with TA wing?

I have a 95 formula with a Trans Am wing amd I can't decide if I'd rather have a low wing or not. The car needs paint so now is the time to decide. Does anyone have pics of the above combination?

In my op id keep the formula however it came from factory and be proud its a formula. I always liked them better because they had cleaner lines than the t/a and also were lighter. Either way you go tho as long as you are happy with it. Post pics after the paintjob as my 97 z28 is due for a paintjob as well.

Right now I'm having trouble finding a body shop. I've been burned by two different shops on two cars in the past so finding a good shop makes me nervous. I'll try to post pics when it's done.

You're in Houston, head over to Richey Collision on Veterans. They're pretty popular on here.

I believe I've found a shop. It was recommended to me by a coworker who he's used a lot in the past. They primarily use ppg paint. Unfortunately, I got a call from them today and told me ppg cyber grey is about $800 a gallon. They told me we could still go with a lesser quality base coat and the clear would still be ppg.

Since I'm not made of money, this is the route I'm going to have to go. They assured me I wouldn't notice a difference since I'm doing the whole car.

The bird went into the body shop yesterday. They said it'd take about 1.5 weeks. Its still gonna be another few weeks before the exterior is complete though. Still gotta order Blackbird stripes, restore to tail lights and center tail light panel. Also, it has oewheels grey C5 Z06 wheels on it and I'll be going to staggered black ZR1s.

I'll post pics as it progresses.

Went by the body shop the other day to drop off the door emblems and this is what I found. These guys are putting in way more work than I expected. They said it should be done around next Wednesday.
