Best looking G-body?

I didn't pay much attention to G-bodies. I was always a fan of the A-bodies... They had the perfect balance of eligant lines and buldgy muscular stance.
But I always loved the mean sinister look of the Grand National and Regals. Couple that to the awesome Cutlass, it's simple but classy but agressive look, and I realy started to gain interest in these cars.
When I was a teen, the SS looked great to me as well. But I've started to grow out of it with age... it's just too flashy...
And, I absolutely HATED GrandPrixs... Until I bought mine.
I guess I never properly looked at the body lines, and fully appreciate the suttle curves.
I love my GP, and I think it looks even meaner with this pushbar. I think it's because it hides some of the "pointy" grill. Regardless, that pointy grill has grown on me too. Nothing beats pulling up to a light in a beater blue old car, with dents, chipping paint, a wire chrome grill, and a hood emblem, and blowing the doors off a quick mustang or corvette(old ones, ha ha, a new vette would wipe the street with my car).
here's some pictures with the pushbar
I bet if I kept the pushbar off, threw on some hubcaps and mudguards, you wouldn't suspect much.

I've always liked differant aspects of all of them. I don't know if I could pick a single one out. I'm building a 86 Cutlass because that's what I found first at a decent price. I wanted a Monte SS but wasn't going to pay the crazy prices they were asking in my area over the cost a comparable Cutlass was selling for.
I have often wondered why GM didn't drop the TPI/T5 into the FE3X and offer it to the public. That would've been pure sex... TPI 305/T5 or 350/auto was the hottest GM offered besides the GN V6 Turbo which could've also been an option. Just think how many fewer Vettes and Camaros would've been sold those years if these options would've been available...

I like the look of the GP, but I'm a die hard cutlass man. btw I like the way the bull bar looks, but why add more weight to the front end?

I remove it when I'm racing... Or when I get bored of reaching over the hood to work and sack myself on it...
I may be a little biased, but I do believe mine, :lol: I mean the Regals are the best looking g-body. I present you with Exhibit A
I love this monte, done real clean
This cutlass is my favorite too
Anyone know where I can get the headlight blackout covers like this GNX has, I think they are gorgeous
Or are they just headlights that have been smoked?
