As much as I want the warmth and sunshine, this is all too reminiscent of 1983.
Could get use to this, -

I'm just going to say that IMHO, the "goof ball" early 97 headlight setup is a better setup than the 98+ setup. Holy **** the new design is frustrating as hell to put in, and it caused a little scratching of the grille on the way in.

Anyway... it still needs a little work, but I have to wait a few days on the paint. Plus, I need another can of teal anyway. Once again, that place by work matched it perfectly.

Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to @akdoggie for a great deal on the fog lights. They really made it all look better. I should've given Hoss a bath first. Oh well.

For the record... in order to switch an early 97 to the 98+ newer header panel, I found that this piece needed to be trimmed out.

Not sure how the 97 is, couldn't be worse than the 98. I hear yuh on that. Cracked mine fooling with it once...I'm sure that was frustration lol.

Lights look great! It would look better with tighter gap between the bumper imo...me suffer the perfectionist curse.

EDIT: It all looks great white. That gap always bothered me way back when, more of a personal thing I expect. It's pretty much how they come. And you can only tighten it up about a 1/4".

Not exactly , but you got the goal right lol.

Lemon juice recep gets rid of the winter weight quickly...a couple weeks without changing my diet.

Taste awful. Going to try honey with it this go around.

Then yes, fortify a few melons and its cowabunga time.

You got it on camera ehh. Those lights look cool behind the grill as well. Never got to doin that myself.. maybe one day. That stuff is plastic, it won't rust out before I get the chance.
