Looks good. That's a great stance.
What's wrong with the bumper you've got?

Sharp looking 2-door
Ever consider popping off the orange reflectors from the turn signal lamps? Only thing I can think of that would give it an even cleaner look, its been one of my favorite mods.

Thanks for the compliments. There is not much of GMGT left since, only most of the body is there, along with the frame. Most of the car is my '81 along with replaced parts and drive train.
Not much really wrong with it, just putting on the correct slotted vent bumper on.Originally posted by johnunit View Post

Actually no. The base LTD/marquis brougham trim is around 1/4-1/2 shorter in height. I had to drill new holes and use proper clips for the current trim. If you look close, you can see the original pegs peaking out on the passenger side. Driver side had all pegs removed during paint, years back. Was easier to install. Hemihotrod sent me a bunch of proper clips. So, next spring, i will strip the trim and properly install the clips.
I really like this trim better than the grand marquis trim. Much cleaner looking.
