Front Nose swap question
I have an 89 formula, and I'd like to swap out the front nose on it for a 91-92 nose, I know I'll need the Nose, the impact absorber, and parking lights, my question is will I need Headlights from a 91-92?

Abird4U2nv1: you might consider putting a 91-92 Formula rear bumper on as well, or when you're done you'll have the black plastic trim strips on the 89 rear bumper and not the 91 front- might look weird. By the way, I did the swap and yes you need the lights.

you could keep the headlights as is!..and just trim the lower lip of the bezel and shave the bottoms humps off the nose and it should all fit proper!
and if you want ,you just add some 82' front end ground f/x and will look fuller and more trimmed down like mine!

It would look strange on a 1985-1990 Trans-AM. Not on a Formula of any kind.
hehe doesn't matter what you put it on, it'll look wierd. just get an 85-90 nose and strap it on =D
