The turbo coupe header panel has a nice clean look. The '78 grille and header panel has an almost late model Nova appearance.
I prefer the single headlight header panel over the dual, or quad lights.

I remember seeing that one before. It looks pretty nice...but lose the wire wheels. :roll: They do not belong on that car.

x2, needs a set of GN wheels. I'm not too keen on those mini fog lights in the air dams either.

I agree. A set of GN or T-Type wheels would look good on that car. I didn't notice the cheesy little foglights before... :?

I have a '79 Century wagon. The header panel is rather unattractive. What are my exchange options? Have to assume 1982-83 Regal wagon/sedan would be the easiest but not easy to find. I've found a 1980 Regal coupe. Will that fit?

The '78-'80 coupe header should fit, but make sure you double check the lines between the front of the fenders for a proper match.

I agree, the '78-'79 Century header is probably the most unattractive of all G-bodies...
'80-'81 Century will swap but doesn't look much better.
'82-'83 Regal wagon will swap, as well as 4-door Regals thru '87...

I am sure the Regal header will fit the wagon. I looked at them both to compare the differences. I also know the earlier turbo hood from a coupe will fit the Century as well, as I put one of these hoods on my Century. Both headers align with the fenders.

Made it fit! Really wasn't as bad as I thought originally. Had to cut the support panel in half and take a belt sander to the rounded corners to chamfer them off, but I'm glad I did. Much happier with this nose. Also, had to use coupe bumper supports to push the bumper out 4 inches or so.
