Hey fellas, i've finally finished the head gasket job on my 91 and now that it's running well I am going to start doing a few things to improve the appearance.
Here is a picture of the way it sits now(minus the 88 front cover haha)
Headlights:
Now first things first I actually NEED to upgrade the headlights(at least the housings) because I drove it in the dark for the first time the other night and man the light output is poor due to the old yellow housings. I have already restored them as best I can and it was only a minor improvement. Here is the way I see my upgrade options.
Option 1. New stock replacement: I can't find any delco housings so I would have to settle for something like Various MFR(rock auto: $50 per set). I want a stock look so
Various or ebay housings
Good headlight bulb. Superstars maybe? I don't know anything about good stock replacement bulbs
Option 2. HID Upgrade
HID Kit
Appropriate housings(do they make housings for hids that look stock?)
Anything I am missings here? I just want good output on a budget so is stock replacement the way to go here? I don't need to see 10 miles down the road so I don't NEED hids...but I admit the super white light is appealing.
Grille:
Option 1. Now I have been wanting to do a '94 grille for a while and I sort of assumed that it would be a direct replacement but after searching on here I found it isn't and that you need different sized healight assemblies and parking light housings correct?
Option 2. New '91 grille of a slightly different style. I saw some pictures the other day of Kurt3's stepside and I like the grille he has. Does anyone know the make/price of that? Here is a pic for reference:
Also does anyone know where to get a nice looking new OEM Bowtie for the front?
Thanks in advance guys. I know I left a lot of questions here haha.
