What are your thoughts on this front end
What are your thoughts on this front end I'm thinking about doing a front end conversion on my '97 T/A. I want a original looking front end and there doesn't seem to be a lot out there. I found this one and it reminds me a lot of the "Bird of Prey" concept front end......but this one has the huge nostrils cut out in the front. What do you think?!?

I like it!. Just needs some kind of grill or intercooler behind it like everyone else is saying. Another thought...does your state require front plates? Texas does and if you catch the wrong cop you'll get a ticket and no telling what else they will hunt and peck for on your car.

I'm not fond of it but that's me. I agree with the intercooler being in there. As it looks, there's still a lot of space in front of the intercooler so if there wasn't one, it'd have a heck of a lot of space behind the front part. I think it looks like a kid with two missing front teeth by the way 
.
. I like it better if you just take out the license plate area and put the intercooler behind that. I don't like in that one how you see the sides of the grille area. If there was a way to fix that I might like this better.

I do know they require you have a front license plate in the state of WA, but even right now I put my license in my front windshield and I've yet to get pulled over........but now that I said something watch me get pulled over for it haha.

I like it. I think if it had the chrome billet front like some guys have on the front of their Camaro's it would look the best. I think that the honeycomb grills would look good but not as good as 2 separate chrome billet grills in there. Who makes that front end?
firebird evolution. lol look up one post.
ive always wanted that front end. but i dropped my plans of a FMIC turbo set up.. for now. lol and ive never seen a shot of that front end with any sort of grill. anyone have any pix?

You firebird guys can get away with anything....I like the grill It does need somthing in from to hide the radiator.....
There was a thread showing a Camaro front end similar to that one and everyone started chanting the Rice mantra.....
