Does anyone know of a good place to get the front end, like the one in the picture below that isn't from showcars-bodyparts.com because from what I've seen they have pitiful reviews?

I think the 87-88 looks good stock alone.
But asthetics are in the eye of the beholder :)
Only change i'd make is to dream that someone would make real glass head lights for the car.

Im probably in the market to sell the entire car as it can not be retitled. Paperwork messup at dmv it was missing one signature from title being transferred to me from my dad. While it was in process my father passed away. So the title is stuck without going to court and flying family members back to pa its easier to just part ways.
Full fiberglass body kit , Cold air intake ,Headers, bbk h pipe, dual flowmaster40s, all sstainless2.5" Has black vent shields and rain deflectors. Needs cleaned work as it sat outside for several years. It starts up. Put it on a trailer and its yours to strip
$1000 to take the whole car. Car was repainted and all rust professionally repaired by body shop. No dents.
Let me know if anyone is interested.
