Nose Jobs.......

Post up! Unique looking front end, from the mundane to marvelous

top pair is mine...

Here is another pair

So post up some creative nose jobs that help make the marvelous... from the mundane.....

Not much to add but I like this thread already!

This was my first P11 Infiniti G20

And this is what one looks like with a Garage Impul Body kit and JDM Headlights/Hood

wish it were mine...so berking much want

OK, I'll say it. I've seen some that I like, but not many. I know the timing is terrible taste...but the majority of nose jobs I've seen wind up looking like Joan Rivers, may she RIP. Just leave well enough alone....

I've seen more "nose jobs" gone wrong than gone right. For instance when they changed the nose of the 3rd gen Firebird from good looking to hideous. Also the 240sx had an unfortunate nose job 1/2 way through it's production cycle.

I've always thought aircooled Bugs look better with nerf bars than bumpers though.

In reply to 4cylndrfury:

Honesty, other than the hood with the Datsun grill I honestly prefer your's.

I had one of these

I added the Cobra fascia, headlights and 96 Cobra hood to make it look like this. Big improvement in my eye.

The SVT Focus front fascia does wonders in my opinion:

Agreed, but the European version of the SVT, the ST170 is even better. The Euro cars all lost the stupid North American big bumpers for slimmer flush bumpers. All were better, but the ST170 was the best of the narrow body cars.

I said narrow body because the best front for a MkI Focus was the Euro RS which had flared fenders as well.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

100% disagree about the ST170. 100% agree about the EURO RS.

Factory parts

Makes me think of this:

but that leads me to some other 80's nose jobs:

What is that? It's Borking awesome. Is that a slant nose Mustang circle track nose cut and narrowed?

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

It is an IMSA Camaro nose that is cut and narrowed.

here is another shot:

In reply to bravenrace:

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on the fiberglass front apron. My '65 fastback had one when I bought it and I swapped it back to steel ASAP. I will admit to swapping '65 grills out for '66s on two of my Mustangs.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

In Japan, there was the Altia package as well...gorgeous

They all look exactly the same

These are nose jobs, not complete body packages. Slight differences, man.

I find the 03-04 Mach 1 hood, grille and chin spoiler to be a huge improvement over the standard GT.

For a while the Impreza was going through nosejobs like Heidi Montag... (and I am ashamed to know who that is)

It's too subtle to be bothered with, but I always wanted to switch over our Honda Fit's big honkin' schnoz to the slimmer, more balanced JDM nose.

USDM:

In reply to bastomatic:

Subtle but much, MUCH better. I strongly dislike the stretched out nose of every Fit I have seen.

In reply to jsquared: I liked the bugeye and hawkeye designs more than the other WRX designs.
