The one appropriate for the year of the car?

Are we talking in general or for your car?

In general. I'm just curious what people like. It seems like they the round headlamps :)

The chrome bumpered cars look good with the stainless grille and headlight surrounds, but a plastic bumpered car would look weird. 73-74 was sorta a transition between the two, rubber bumpers with stainless bezels and a bit of stainless on a plastic grille. Overall unless the car is chrome bumpered I prefer the 75+ look.

What he said, but I'm biased :) Also, I like the small turn signals, either low down on the early cars or up to '76. I wouldn't kick a '77+ out of bed though :thumbsup:

Even if all she left on her bumpers was this piece of unobtainium?

I like the early cars with steel bumpers. Or with no bumpers at all.

The later 75-78 grille looks more aggressive, but I have a soft spot for the 73-74 grille. Maybe a later grille/ headlamp bezels on a chrome bumper car? :dunno:
