Personally the euro front header would look great with the different mirrors. If it's a driver, I'd go with the 4 headlight header just because of the availability of replacement parts.

I like the sunken in look of the quad light setup, but I prefer the composite headlight look. So for mine, I’m going to use the quad headlight header panel and some eBay headlights for a 90-98 Silverado. Same deal as what they used on the Year One Bandit Trans Am.

I personally like the euro better, I feel it gives it a sleeker more modern look but I also like the 4 headlight set up so if I were to get another Cutlass as long as whatever is on the front is in good shape then that is what I will go with.

I think there may have been something to the 86 grilles and mirrors being different on this proto-drawing of a potential 86 H/O. But we'll probably never know.

That is a very nice front end, I agree it has the best of both front end styles.

I guess I don’t have pictures of the headlights I bought for my Cutlass. Here is an example of the Bandit, one with oem style lights and one with projectors:

Something like this perhaps?
(Done that on my ‘80 Cutlass already)

Knew i had seen that somewhere before! Im thinking of combining the best of both worlds now, the look of the 4 headlight nose with composite lights like the bandit.

My son just sent me this picture, his friend was looking at the car and wanted to know if the head lights were stock. My son told him NO just in 1987 but it is different.
I would have to say that the head lights came off of a 87 caprice or a 87 monte LS
