Well it has been awhile since I posted pics of my car. I just got done putting the aerographics on my 90 formula. Also have the supercharger all hooked up and rarin to go.

I really like the way it turned out.

just wondering, but did you move your exhaust exits to the other side of the car, because i noticed that before it was on the right and after it is on the left.

If you look, I mirrored the picture so both rear view pics are in the same orentation.


Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Yeah, the gas cap is on the wrong side. Looks great. Love the colors, and of course the supercharger...

Just curious if you have done one of your famous renderings in this color combonation? If so I would really like a copy.

I love the transformation. The T/A style nose and ground f/x really "beefed up" the look of the car. The wheels aren't really working for me....maybe a set of black GTA wheels or a nice set of aftermarkets would really complete it.

I'm floored with your engine bay. Simply awsome. I have also been a big fan of the blue/gray color scheme.

Keep up the awsome work!

I liked the "before" better. I've always been a sucker for single-color Formulas. I think they look better than Trans Am and GTA cars (and this is coming from a GTA owner ).

That aside, your new body style still looks well done. I do like the new tail lights, and the engine bay looks great.

I love those later-model GTA tails, where'd you get those and how much did it run you? Easy installation?

And obviously I love the S/C too but that's kind of a given

Do you know if it's sold separately? Or if some other place has it? What's the diameter of the flex tubing off the TB?

Engine runs great, still in the process of finishing the tuning of the computer stuff. Also working on trying to keep the blower belt from slipping at higher rpm/loads.
