Re: Do u Like this Front?

chevy celebrity? i don't like it. the lights are way too square to match the body lines of the rest of the front end. meanwhile, the grille is pretty cool.

Re: Do u Like this Front?

Honestly...I've seen alot worst things done to trucks on the internet. At least it looks semi-clean. Not like that pink and white thing with all the fiberglass on another post.

That movie is classic!

I actually like the grill. The headlights are too square for the round grill, and round, contoured truck lines.

To each their own....

The truck looks nice, just not the front end.

But it is all in the eye of the beholder......not my cup of tea, but someone obviously put a lot of time, blood, sweat & tears into it......course if it turned out like that, I'd cry too

Re: Do u Like this Front?

I can appreciate the work but IMO he ruined one of the best features of our trucks. Nothing looks as nice as these trucks do from the front. I'd NEVER do a thing to the front of mine.
