Tough Choice.....

Well I have been seriously debating about doing a front clip swap on my camaro. I really hate to do it and make it look like a newer car, but the crappy headlights is really making me want to do the swap. That and the fact that the front bumper needs some TLC as well as the drivers side front fender and I want to add an SS hood.

What are your thoughts and whats the cost run? I'd like to do it so everything is right and works correctly, such as the headlight brackets, front bumper brackets and everything like that.

Anyone have any links of it being done? I know I saw one before, but I can't find it now.

BTW don't hate me for it LOL I like the LT1 front better, it looks alot meaner

I would never change my LT1 for a LS1 front just get better lights and i think ss hood looks better on lt1 but thats just me looks meaner

I think the LT1 cars have cleaner looks than the LS cars. I could be biased, however

Yeah I know that the LT1 front ends look way better than the LS1 fronts, but the LS fronts have some good looks to them too. And the reason that I want better light is that I do about 40% of my driving at night and the headlights in my car are really pissing me off.

But an LT1 car with an SS hood looks simply badass, what are some other headlight options that look good and are really bright? And no I won't do the fog lights to replace the headlights just because I think it looks like crap (no offense, but its not for me)

My car is polo green and I don't think they had any LS1 cars that were polo green and if I do the LS1 front I was going to add a black billet grille, black headlights, satin black manta stripe on the hood, and satin black berger to make everthing flow really well. I'm also getting some TTMs in anthracid (SP) so I don't know. I think it could look good either way, but the better headlight options is making me lean towards the LS type front.

But if you have any headlight options for the camaros please post it up, I'm open to different options

I have an Lt1 with an ss hood and I love it

LT1 front end is just bad ASS!

I really dont know any headlight options though.

ill bet you can convert your headlamps to take an HID setup. I think Brian2006 works with them, but i could be wrong.

If I were you i'd just go with some HIDs, you don't have to pick the super purple or blue color so it looks ricey and it will probably cost you less in the end.

If your having lighting issues PM brian2006. He is the man when it comes to that stuff. It just wouldn't be cost effective to buy the front end swap, when you could just upgrade your lights and repaint what you have.
