That front end you took off, with the light cover things… did you like those? Yeah that def looks good. I am not really a fan of the 87+ tails, so theres the solution, because the 87+ front lights and bumper are way sxyer! ---

I am not really a fan of the 87+ tails, so theres the solution, because the 87+ front lights and bumper are way sxyer! the head light covers on the 86 nose were bought because i didnt like the the looks of the head lights. they fit good and never had a problem with them for the 5 years they were on there. i dont like the 87+ tails and side skirts. i have always liked the looks of an 86 with a 87+ front end. ---
