Dude, your car looks awesome as is, but if you want GFXs your ride would look even better than it does now with the T/A GFXs, they are the coolest I've seen for our cars.

RCR,
I like your wheels,

2 Ponchos,
Personally I do not care about GFX, I think they make the car look bulkey. Personally I think the stock look of 87-90 Formulas is the best looking design Formula, for all 3 generations that it was offered. Its cleen, and sleek, its just the way I like it. Besides, I am not to keen on punching holes in my fenders and doors, etc. I personally think your car looks awesome the way it is. I like your choices in hoods, it has a sharp look to it.

I have considered though converting a Firebird, Trans AM or a Formula over to look like a Ferrari Maranello, but that has not taken shape yet. But I would not do it to my primary car, it would be a car that would be purchased JUST for that purpose...

Just my Opinion...

John

i personally would do a "KITT" Conversion with that hood, that would look slick, but that's what ill do...

thanks for the compliments guys. i think it will look better when i put my grey gta wheels on!! and get it lowered. one thing i have thought bout is putting a different nose piece on like the one in the ad above with the white formula the thunder racing ad. i like that nose!! well its still up in the air what to do. if i added gefx i would be adding weight also thats a minus.

that nose piece is a stock 91/92 type, IF you go that way I would also recommend getting a rear bumper as well to get rid of the little black bumperetts on your Formula.

Actually If you found a 91/92 nose, you could probably use a rear bumper from a base firebird from 82-84, T/A 82-83 w/o gfx because the back bumper was plain.

I love the looks of my 90 formula except for those bumperette things.
When i get it repainted i have a rear bumper cover from a 84 Firebird i am putting on,i just need to find a place that could make me some pieces to fill in the ones in front.
I have seen Formula's and Firebirds with the bumperette's painted and in my opinion it looks hideous.

i also want a ram air II hood but will probably wait till after i get the car painted due to funds (damn ex-wife and child support)
