The Euro Clip looks good on the Cutlass Really bad on the monte. The euro clip also is makes the car flowww way better it matches alot better. too bad they just didnt make these cars forever..

Years ago I thought about getting the conversion headlights that look like the euro headlights for my Monte but ended up changing my mind and I think my car probably looks more aggresive with the original style headlights plus I'm sure that money went towards performance parts anyways. I think the Cutlass euro lights seem to blend in and flow better with the body lines of that body style.

The FE3X concept was built in '85 and you'll notice it has the 4 sealed beam headlamps but the corner marker lamps like the '87/'88 front end. I believe the FE3X header panel is what inspired the later composite headlamp front ends.
One purpose the '87/'88 front end serves is to be a bit better aerodynamically than the older style. I believe that is why the FE3X concept had that large piece of plexiglass over the front end. They were experimenting with the air flow however that piece cut off too much air from the radiator and didn't make it as a production piece.

If I had your car, I wouldn't do anything with it. The current front clip looks SICK! 😀 as does the whole car!

^^well to each his own and if you're building a low rider ( like it looks like you are) it will definitely go with the look.but.. I love the older style just because it is reminiscent of a day long gone when true muscle cars roamed the streets breathing true horsepower , not these little fart canned j* cars that sound like you shook a hornets nest up and jammed it in the exhaust pipe.. the euro style looks like a cheap early 90's FWD car that you'd see rotting in any junkyard waiting for the crusher to give it new life as a muffler for something that is worth something.. But like i said to each his own. thats just my opinion haha and i don't expect any one to agree with it.. Thats what makes hot rodding so fun and unique though.

When I first got into the whole car craze, I was originally big into lowriding. My first car was an 85 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. In the lowriding genre, the Cutlass euro clip is highly sought after. Years and having owned several Cutlass later I finally bought an entire 87. It ran quite well even tho it had a V6. Finally one day it took a dump and quit on me. I grab the euro front off of it, stripped the body as much as possible and scrapped the rest. Now I'm into the more stock appearance along with modern muscle conveniences. I still however think the euro front looks better after that I'd say the 84 Calias blacked out grilles and headlight bezels or the 86 Salon with blacked out grille centers and headlight bezels.
Here's my euro front I've had since 2004; waiting to put it on my 86 Salon someday.

I know this is an old thread but it is on my mind. I would live to get rid of my 87 Euro for the older 81 thru 86 front!!!
