New look for my new Formula

[TNTramair]

well...didnt take me too long to start modding the new Formula. i started with the exterior cause the stock wheels and hood had to go....next will be some suspension and than after that, who knows.

heres some before and after shots:

before-






and now...new hood, new wheels, Tint, and center filler panel.

after-








my crappy camera doesnt do it justice. let me know what you all think.

looks awesome. where did you get your hood from? what size tires are on there?

[TNTramair]

its an OEM hood i got from a wrecked ws.6. the wheels are the stock ones off my 00 ws.6, they are 275 45R17 i beleive.

looks killerthe only negative i xperience`bout modding my formula is now w/ mine is it doesnt look or sound like the sleeper it once wasi kinda miss that

[StuntmanMike]

NICE!!! EXACTLY the way I'd like to go with mine.

I don't think I'd ever be able to justify spending the $$ on the hood, but I want those wheels!!!

i paid $300.00 for the hood....it was too good of a deal to pass up.

[Mr. Luos]

Looks very nice!!
While I like my spoiler, the low rise looks just as good.


By the way, the stock tire size on those wheels is a 275/40/17. Just an FYI.

Envy much Mike?

Very nice setup, not my first choice in wheels but on a budget they definately work well with this car.

absolutely...they are the take offs from my 2000 ws.6. just had em laying around figured id put em to good use. they look 10x better than the 16" stock twisties anyways.

thats what I bought my car with. they looked horrible. I ended up selling them and the shitty nankang tires they had on them to some guy with a red 95 v6 firebird. (He had the bowling balls )

Did you get the speedometer reprogrammed the old wheels are 16" now your 17" your speedo will be off alittle

i dont think a few miles would matter when he is running away from the cops lol

[CrawlinWS6]

Looks very good

[Mecinoid]

Sweet Hotness. Black in always nice when it's nice and clean like that. Good snag on the hood !!!!

[TNTramair]

the size of the rim has nothing to do with the speedometer being off. as long as the over all diameter of the tire doesnt change, it wont affect the speedo/odometer. the stock wheels and these wheel both have an overall diameter of 25" or 26" i beleive.

[Mecinoid]

My 16's were 25.5 dia... My 17's are 26.25 dia or .75 dia difference you will be about 2-2.5% difference without a reprogram or ~2mph faster then factory. Now, GM makes the speedo show about 2mph slower than actual ...so it should be pretty close to correct. I took a GPS to my cars when I change wheel sizes. In my case, I have change rear gears from 3.42 to 3.73 and tire dia. I do have a programmer that I can plug this in along with speed limiter delete. I bought the programmer when I first got the car. $350 or so and it's has help a lot. It's a Hypertech.... Unfortunately can't get a Predator for my '98 or I would have bought one of those a long time ago.

Ahh man my speedo is crazy, at 25mph on the gauge im doin about 32 and at about 90 on the gauge im at about 115mph for real lol in the quarter mile I only make it to about 85-88mph on the speedo but the clock me at 110.
