High rise spoiler on a formula hatch

I can get just a t/a high rise spoiler for a decent price. My question is can it be put on a formula hatch or is a hatch from a t/a needed. If it is possible does any one have any pics.

The T/A hatch is needed. The Formula's spoiler is molded into the hatch. It isn't removable like the T/A spoiler.

There is one good looking option for the formula hatch. I believe its the GTR spoiler. There is a firehawk here on campus that has one. I'm not positive that's the spoiler thats on the hawk, but whatever it is I love the way it looks. Based on the pics on mechams site thats it though. Looks 100x better in person.

I would have to see that Mecham spoiler in person to really get a feel for it, because in pictures it just makes the car look way unbalanced in the back.

I heard that it can't be done, because it makes the car look funny and unbalanced.

Its love or hate i personally i agree that the t/a spoiler doesnt really suit the back of the car without the t/a bumper. There are hundreds of people have done the swap and are happy with the outcome. I myself got a t/a hatch in my backyard waiting to go on soon as my car comes out of storage. Its something you have to see in person and if it doesnt look right to me im going to put on the t/a bumper that i have as a spare to complete the look. The t/a bumper sits flush with the bottom sides of a formula without skirts which is awesome. Its something that i have yet to see on a formula. Its either a t/a hatch with stock bumper or a t/a bumper and without the t/a hatch.
