Yeah, there's stuff I THINK I like? And stuff I DON'T like...
I almost think it's slightly extended?
With a little more thought/design,, the grill/headlight deal seems like it could be a clean way to integrate more readily available square headlights?

Anyone remember the "Tijuana tuck and roll" interior job?
Don't piss off the henchos, they are everywhere and work hard.
