Have you considered updating your front end to the much better looking 1984 and up grill?
If you’re spending money, now is the time.

Better looking is subjective, of course.

When the 81-83 setup has bright and deep chrome it gives a much more luxury look to the car than the 84-87, which, is more plain albeit more streamlined. Of course, most of the time parts are dull and faded to a pot metal grey color.

Just kind of goes to the look and appearance you're going for.

Then again, I'm highly partial to the 1983 with the mix or narrow and thick bars and tons of chrome.

Moar chrome moar better! :LOL:

From the testing I have seen it shows Chrome actually makes the car slower

Definitely a matter of opinion but most people that I know like the newer front end better. You be the judge….I don’t like the top of the older grills. It just looks out of place.
