formula has the same fenders as the gta, I beleive, just regular firebird fenders no heat extracters that would be the trans am fenders. I think they look stupid unless you have the full ground efects. Imo pick up a 90-92 front bumper and if the hoods mest up ram air 2.

A GTA is nothing but a Trans Am with regards to bodywork. Same GFX, same fenders, hood, etc. Your best bet would be to go to a junkyard, unless you want to pay some hefty shipping prices.

Wrong. GTA fenders are firebird fenders. Trans Am fenders have the air extractors.

Check your local junkyards. A place like Pittsburgh should have some sitting around. Also, check the classifieds. If not, Hawks has them (new and used).
