Psych0matt Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 header panel, lights, front bumper cover. Should cover most of your bases aside from whatever screws/brackets need to be swapped with it Quote
Disbass69 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 Why the picture of got2bgms car? Are you looking at doing that front end swap? Sent from my microwave using Tapatalk 2 Quote
WhatTheFehl Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 I think you are confusing a GTP front end and a TGP front end. For the life of me I still can't figure out why people swap out their miniquads for the TGP front end. I like both designs but I think the miniquads are a lot cleaner looking. And what is wrong with sealed beams? You can convert them to something brighter fairly easily... http://www.eurolamps.com/eurolamps/camaro_headlights.htm Quote
Psych0matt Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 Why the picture of got2bgms car? Are you looking at doing that front end swap? Hence the title of his post! And either way my response still holds true. Matt (GOT2BGM) has a TGP which is different than a GTP/GT front end, as the TGPs have sealed beams still. My car is a GTP and has the miniquads, but otherwise the same basic thing. Quote
Disbass69 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 I meant doing a TGP instead of a gtp I'm all for the TGP front end swaps, as long as you turbo it Quote
rich_e777 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 What about a CS to GP front swap? Got a damaged front end and havent seen a CS coupe or vert but plenty of GPs, and the B4U cladding some have is badass, especially the wheel flares. The frames between the two models look the same to me when the bumper and header panel is removed. Grand Supreme? Quote
Psych0matt Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 it would look like a retarded redhead child at wal mart. On second thought, if you only drove it to wal mart it'd be ok... Quote
rich_e777 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 Will have to do some test fitting at the yard first and go from there. Have you seen it done or attempted before? Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 What? You don't want to stick a GP front end on your CS. It probably can be done, but I would not recommend doing something like that. 1. It looks dumb. 2. The front end of a gp is more rounded than that of a CS. 3. Alignment issues. 4. Turn signals won't line up. 5.???? 6. Light car on fire and roll it down a hill. Quote
problem2420 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Posted December 30, 2012 well does anyone know of a place that sells clear headlight covers for the gp even though i love the tgp front clip, it would probably be a while until i can get my hands on the parts and i really hate the look of the gp nose.

mfewtrail Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 TGP front ends are kinda scarce.... Quote
Twenty Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 But they are the best 1G GP nose, in my opinion. Quote
Dark Ride Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 But they are the best 1G GP nose, in my opinion. Agreed! Quote
GtpKo Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 Agreed! I 3rd that motion! IMO... 1st gen front ends in order of beauty: TGP > 88-90 GP coupe > 94 Lumina Z34 > 1991-up GTP > Monte > Lumina > CS > unibrow more or less Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 I 3rd that motion! IMO... 1st gen front ends in order of beauty: TGP > 88-90 GP coupe > 94 Lumina Z34 > 1991-up GTP > Monte > Lumina > CS > unibrow more or less Id change a few things on that! IMHO:lol: Quote
Euro Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 I 3rd that motion! IMO... 1st gen front ends in order of beauty: TGP > 88-90 GP coupe > 94 Lumina Z34 > 1991-up GTP > Monte > Lumina > CS > unibrow more or less So the 91-93 Lumina Z34's front ends look like ass? Quote
GtpKo Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 So the 91-93 Lumina Z34's front ends look like ass? No that would be the "unibrow" Grand Prix... sorry. It would be interesting to see the different order other members would put those in. I'm sure a few would have that list go exactly the other way. What say you? Quote
