Default Poll: Which T/A front fascia (bumper) looks the best?

Just wanted to know what you guys thought of the lt1 front fascia (bumper) versus the ls1 front fascia.

* I like how the lt1 is sharper and less busy looking, but that ls1 is smooth and modern, and i like the petal shaped lights much better (and the whole assembly looks alot less plastic-like on the ls1). Thanks.

On the T/A's, always liked the LS1 front end WAY better than LT1. Especially under a WS6 hood.

On a Camaro, just the opposite, I like the LT1 front end much better.

They dont look the same. I dont like LT1 Camaro, and love LS1 TA, but I like the LT1 TA as well. Its cleaner, but the hood doesnt do anything for the car (the reverse dual fake induction or whatever), that ruins it for me, but the LS1 looks more sculpted and I agree less plastic looking.

I love my LS1`s no doubt more the the LT1`s but i think if the LT1 style was the newer style id be down with it. Its just sharper and looks faster to me for example my brother just had a vizage kit put on his LT1 SS and compared to my Z28 with the aftermarket groundeffects spoiler and hood his looks like something wicked and european fast. I like the sharpness i wish they could have made the LT1 with fixed headlights like a new vette that take up the whole space but go with the sharp flow of the nose

i kinda lean towards the lt1 style as well. it just looks a little cleaner and less organic. the ls1 ram air hood is pretty ballsy, like a early 2nd gen formula in a way. and while the lt1 ram air option looked kinda tough, it just doesnt have the mean look of the ls1 ram air.

its kinda similar to what pontiac did with the 3rd gens around 90-91 (forgive me i dont know exactly which year off the top of my head) when they again went a more organic and curvy fascia.

I love the LS1's both T/A and camaro. The LT1 style is Just to pointy Like the front of the car was sharpened with a pencil sharpener. The factory headlights on the LS1 camaro (versus the recessed square sealed beams on the LT1) are awesome I got lots of compliments on them when I had my camaro, People thought they were aftermarket. The T/A's flip up lights look awesome as well when they are down, follows every line and curve of the hood and front bumper,this versus the square flip ups on the LT1, to me they sat too far back on the hood and they resembled the flip ups on a first gen. probe or something. Now don't get me wrong I would own either or because I'm an f-body fan to the core, but I have had two f-bodys 98 camaro and 2000 T/A and I love them the best. LS1 styling gets my vote.

Yeah, I don't like the non-ws.6 hood for the lt1 T/A, it looks like something off of a frickin' cheezy hot wheels car. But i do like how the lt1 is sharp and mean. Those lights aren't very nice either, and to me, the whole assembly just looks like plastic or something...But as for camaros, the ls1 fascia looks more bulky and muscular(which i like), whereas the lt1 looks sleeker, like it was meant to be SLAMMED!

I dig LT1 Camaros, but LT1 Firebirds are very very strange looking to me. Looks like a futuristic concept car that made production or something to me.

I drool everytime I see a LS1 WS6 though.

I at first was leaning towards the LS1 front end (TA), but after a while I noticed it tends to be a "girly" car, my dad was laughing when I said "it looks *****" and he thought I meant "it looks like a ..."

But everyone has their own opinions, I like the LT1 TA.

LT1 Ws6's don't look bad, but the regular LT1 TA's just don't do it for me. LS1 WS6 all the way.

I can't hate on the ls1 ws6 hood it will be a classic. But to me, the lt1 ws6 hood looks better, not necessarily meaner but more subtle and still tough looking. A major reason why I would rather have an lt1 TA over an ls1 ta. I would like to have the side air vents from the ls1 TA on the LT1 ta. Plus, it's a lot rarer to see an lt1 ws6 than the ls1.

The Formula LT1's look a bit off to me, but I really like both the LT1 & LS1 T/A's.
