[@Slim1423]

Thats a nice looking Regal ! I like the color, grill and wheel setup. I especially like the upgrade to interior instrument cluster with digital display. Not sure what type of engine you have, but it looks like it has some power. A old car made new again. It all matches up and blends in together. I like older vehicles, less problems and very little computer controls. More time to enjoy driving your vehicle.

[@garyhickingbottom8285]

Thank you very much.

[@Slim1423]

@Gary Hickingbottom You're welcome. Enjoy your vehicle. Really good looking car!

[@Slim1423]

@Gary Hickingbottom Forgot to mention that i like your tinted windows too, and the tinted windows blends in with the color of your vehicle. Everything with your car just looks flawless! There was a lot of attention to details with your car.

Nice regal. Did you change the header panel to a 84. Headlights bezel looks different

[@nobodyspecial6436]

What would be different??? They were all the same from 81 to 87…. Only difference was chrome look or blacked out look… grille changed slightly in 84 and the dash cluster changed in 82

[@veezybee23]

@@nobodyspecial6436 Big differences
The bumpers, came in fiberglass or aluminum , the bezels where different depending on the trim model and the grille changed like 4 times . Devil s in the details. They probably customized a 81-83 grill and bumper fillers to fit with the 84-87 front nose clip

[@thejuiceman883]

@@veezybee23 87 was the only one that had a revised front clip and it was minor as hell. Non car guys wouldn't even know the difference but I can tell instantly when I see an 87 versus the previous year models. The only thing I hate is that GM didn't give it the one piece headlight treatment like the Monte and the Cutlass.
