Bumper won't have any effect on it, and unless you have the 91-92 Style GFX, then I suggest that's the one to get. The Ram Air II's don't look good with the boxier cars.


GO for it!

search for Zepher on this forum, he has that hood on this formula.

this thread has a good amount of pics showing that hood https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/auto...es-auto-x.html

That is the ASCD Ram Air 1 hood. I personally think it looks 1,000 times better then the Ram Air II hoods. Yes, I have seen both in person.

i had to paint the fender/headlight red becuase i took them from a black 88' formula after my accident, the same thing with the hood and the bumper and the rear hatch. i've done plenty of work to this baby lol i also painted the bumper and the hood black because i didnt think it would look good since the red wouldnt have matched very good, but the fender isnt that bad since its not such a big piece like the hood.

i just bought a new bumper, i'm not sure if i should get all the pieces individually painted or the entire car painted at once

are you going to put on the 350 FORMULA decals on the side? i think those look sweet. maybe you could get two sets and make a 355 FORMULA decal. that would kick ***
