I think it looks great..throw a Wings West grille in place of the stock one. Or just pull out the stock grille and smooth out the Camaro and the holes.

Looks like a decent amount of work went in to it, good job! I'm in the middle of a front end conversion myself. I had some minor front end damage done to my '94 Z so I decided to go ahead with the conversion... I have everything needed, just a matter of finding time to complete it!

It really isn't that hard to do... not sure why so many people say 'why didn't you just get an LS1?' At least in my situation, this '94 Z was a project car to begin with and I picked it up for dirt cheap. Took maybe an hour to tear down the front end, and I estimate it'll take maybe another 1.5 to 2 hours to align/mount all of the new pieces.

I for one liked it before, but looks great! I'm just a fan of the color it was before and think it would look sweet with the new front and the same color. Definetly different and thats a good thing!
