Default Would you guys ever swap out the LS1 ws6 TA front for an LT1 front?

I saw a thread that some guy wanted to swap out his LS1 trans am front for an LT1 trans am front...

I think the LS1 ws6 front looks sexy as hell

what is your opinion about the front of the LS1 WS6 T/A?

its been done, some prefer the sleeker style of the lt1 front over the ls1. If you have an ls1 t/a, and want the lt1 look, do the swap. Its not very hard. You may even be able to trade somebody that wants to do the opposite as you.

I love the looks of the LT1 front end, but not on an LS1 car. The way it comes from the factory is the best look IMO.

I have a 98 LS1 camaro & i think the LT1 Camaro front end looks better.
It looks much meaner looking. Im considering converting mine over posibly someday.

If mine ever gets mangled up I'm doing the 93-97 front with an SS hood. I think they're meaner looking. I mean c'mon.... How menacing can a catfish look?

With the Pontiacs I prefer the updated look, but the old WS6 and Formulas do look great.

Wtf?! Why would anyone want to do that unless their front is damaged and can get the lt1 one dirt cheap? Not me...NEVER.

93-97<98-02 Trans Am
93-97>98-02 Camaro

96 & 97 SS Camaro's are mean IMO.

Both looks look good for their distinct features. I swapped the front on my '95 because I didn't care for the base front end that era. I wanted the car to match my '00 'bird.

Wouldn't going with the 93-97 front end on 98-02 have some hood clearance issues? The 93-97's have a lot more slope in the front. Just thinking.

I would get rid of the car before I put a lt1 front end on it. That goes for the Camaros and T/As.
