Nice touch but somehow just not flow very well as tiny upfront then bam wide in the back.

Looks like a poor version of a '67 and '68.I believe '69 SS's had headlight door covers.
Grill go too far into the headlights.

That looks weird to me. Just doesn't flow well at all.

Somehow it works but not better than the stock. Still, I think it's cool.

I wasn't really sure but just did a quick search and can't find a '67 SS with covers.

Don't like it, from the front it looks okay, but from the side the front is so tiny and out of proportion from the rest of the monstrosity
