ok so i have a black 1gb, i know some or most of you guys on here know what car it is. i have always thought about changing to the 1ga front end. what do you guys think i should do. it just kinda seems like a bit of work to not gain anything lol. i'd like to hear some thoughts on whether it would look good or not.

keep it the way it is. You are right, too much work for not much. But Pop ups are best

1Ga is my favorite looking 1G trim, but I would never bother with swapping out front ends. As much as I like pop-ups, it just doesn't seem worth the hassle. My .02.

i have done that on the white car. but i bought it with a smashed front fender and hood. I always considered pop ups to be old technology, and always likes the 92-94 talon body moldings the best, so i swapped the entire car to be that. sides, rear, tails, fenders, hood etc.. it was A LOT of work, but it fixed all my front end cosmetics and hid some cancer that my rockers had. if it weren't for that i would have never done it, plus i had the parts laying around to do the swap in the correct color. bottom line, if you could avoid doing it, i would. my opinion.

Things to get a 92-94 to look almost as good as pop ups. 1. Get the clear headlight and corner light package off of ebay 2. Keep factory fog lights 3. Get a nice fmic that fills out that opening 4. Realize that you spent so much and it still isn't as cool as pop ups I am mainly joking to get to pinder

Realize that you spent so much and it still isn't as cool as pop ups I am mainly joking to get to pinder 1. I've got super clean OEM headlights, with stock amber corners (I may even paint the entire turn signal amber, EG Civic style ). 2. Factory fogs will be there. 3. A massive fmic is on the list. 4. Buying the right car in the first place means no swapping for heavy ass "air brakes".

But seriously 1ga's are nicer to me, that is my personal opinion. But I would never do a front end swap. A black 2gb, though sometimes played out to me, is still a very very nice looking car if done right.
