Now That would make a HUGE improvement to the nose. I've always like the body lines of the '78-80 GP and the marker lights having the Pontiac Arrowhead in them, but that nose is just so damn ugly (to me), kinda lovable ugly like "Chunk" in "Goonies". I'd always thought that adding a '81 Lemans or '78-'80 Grand Am Nose would be pretty cool, but they don't flow with the GP's hood lines, but that is SOOOOO much more natural looking.

If you found a way to produce them in some limited quantities, you could be on to a niche market idea.

Try '81-86 Monte headlight buckets and then cut out a separate, shorter section for the marker? The Caddy ones look "off" because they are not sunken-in and those adjustment holes would mess up the cleaner look.

I'm torn on this one. I too look at the front of my 80 as needing something in the lighting area. I'd thought about eliminating the marker/turnsignal area, squeezing the lights together, then filling the void so there was more room between the lights and the grill. I had a 72 GP a long time ago. I liked the single light set-up on it and thought about trying to do something like that as well. But like others have said, its luvable ugle as it is. LOL

The body lines are very different between the '78-80 and '81-87 Grand Prix... it would look very off.
