Title: 4 eye header panel
Post by: FirstBird on March 09, 2012, 11:49:03 PM
Is it possible to put use a 4 eye header panel on an aero car? without using the 4 eye bumper?

Yes, but he used the 4 eyed bumper too, so now there's the moulding mismatch.

yes, it's possible.. does it look good? NOOOO.. someone posted a link or pic of 1 and the bumper clashes with the header and it just doesn't fit quite right

This guy has since put the correct header back on and it looks much better.  If you do the four eye, you pretty much have to go with the 4 eye bumper because the top holes on the bumper cover on an 87/88 are covered up by the 83-86 header just about.  You can see in these pictures how much he had to push down the bumper cover and I don't know if he ground the bottom of the body line off his header or not to get it to fit at the corners.

things would be so much easier if these bumpers didn't have the stupid impact strips molded to the bumper.. would make for a much better look, too
