Ummmm, but the Formula came with the lower rise spoiler. Adding the high rise would just make it look like the TA. The WS6 Formula is a rare find....Congrats....

Ya i know the guy that had the car when the mods were added. they called it the demon. you must of bought it from the guy that he sold it to cuz i know he was selling it not to long ago. Its got a good size cam in it and put down some good numbers but it defenitely needs a better tune.
