looks nice. I like that grille style.
 
These pic's doesn't do it justice if you ask me... I went over to blazekraze house this afternoon. And let me tell you it looks great!

blazekraze, you need to take another one with the KC's on there too...and one with the lights on......
 
Nice! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Is that the 89-91 style? How much did it run you?

Did you have to swap radiator supports?

What are the headlights from?

Looks even better w/the composites. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Used the existing core support, just bought the grill, light bezels, turn/parking lamps and used a pair of 89 Chevy Celebrity headlights,. They bolt right up, just had to use longer bolts and drill 3 mounting holes, also the light bezels had to be ground down to fit the larger headlights. Everything else bolts right in. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
I have been wanting to do the same with my 85 but didnt want to spend the money to replace everything, that looks excellent! Thanks for the info.
Can you see better or worse going from 4 lights to 2?
thanks!

was that an aftermarket grille? if so did it come with the bowtie ? mine didnt need to find 1
 
Used the Bowtie from the 84 grille. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif I have the original but the 84 one stands out better.
