    Default options....

    i know i am probably going to take some sh*t for what i am about to post....but....
    wile my car was getting shipped back to the US from Germany my front end got fairly jacked up to say the least, P/S fender is dented, bumper cover is all sorts of F*CKED (most damage was from taking debris on the Autobahn at 130mph+) the hood is ok, and the D/S fender is slightly damaged. and for the past few months i have been fighting with the transport company to get payed for the damage, but any one in the military knows how them battles go....so i have just about given up on that.

    since i have been here in OK i have been looking for replacement parts and wow! its just about impossible to find a good condition front end for a half way decent price. so my options are, get the original front end fixed and keep trying to find a new bumper cover, OR and here is where i will disgust a lot of people on here....pick up a LS1 style the "catfish" front end which personally i like better and i can get EVERY thing i need for the conversion and get it all painted for less then what it would cost to repair the LT front end....

    Honestly man i would get the LS front end in that case. Plus YOU like it better, fuck what anyone else thinks really.
    as long as your not tossing a 4ft spoiler on the back or planning on running some 24s i dont think there will be any real issues ...not with me anyway.
