Something doesn't seem right there. Either it's a TA and someone put Formula badges on it, or it's a Formula that someone added ground effects to.

Correct, those are aftermarket Ground FX, just like the floor mats.

Yeah my formula had that aftermarket stuff too. I removed it just recently to return it to the original "formula" style. If any one wants to buy it please pm me.

That might be the best looking Firebird I have seen with those Ground effects. Most of the time I hate them because of the little black bumpers breaks it up too much. But this car, being black pulls it off pretty well.
