Transforming Formula to Trans Am

**bigpappy** · 12-30-2008, 10:45 PM

What all would be involved in transforming a 2001 Formula to a Trans Am clone? External Only!

I would guess that you need a new front end, side skirts, rear wing and rear bumper. Is it more complicated than that? Do you have to replace quarter panels and hood, etc?

**nhra-trans-am** · 12-30-2008, 10:51 PM

front and rear bumper covers, side skirts and high rise hatch/spoiler

**TempleU_WS6** · 12-30-2008, 11:20 PM

Doors and quarters are fine.

Everything mentioned and if you wanna do a WS6 conversion call it a WS7 and you need a hood and the taller air box.

Or you could trade your formula for a real TA?

I honestly think that the formula bumper looks much better than a trans am. A formula is a rarer car too.

I would throw a ws6 hood on it, a trans am hatch/rear bumper and call it a day. Plus you wont have to deal with the trans am driving light issues!

Definitely rarer. You've got that to consider as well like he said. Although I prefer the ws6 hood on it over the formula any day.

i agree with a onetroubledguy and joshiedoom . . . the formula is rare, dont make it a trans am clone!!! just get a hood.

do what you want, formulas are rare but they dont look near as cocky as a TA

"cocky"=rice

j/k throw a hawk or ws6 hood on there like i did(hawk hoods arent as "cocky" & fit the lines of the car better) & youll luv it

I have the rear hatch that I believe is in good shape, I will have to check for you they had not taken it off of my car just yet last time I was there. Thinking about going by there today.
