well I'd look at the pic if the forum would load

I don't like it.. just doesn't mold into the body work on the car.

 

[Buffman]

No offenese but f$%king disgusting.

i think i poked my eye out on that point in the centre, it doesn't fit with the lines of the rest of the car, i'll stick with my good old buick waterfall thankyou🙂

Just doesn't look like a Buick. Looks like a cross between a 70's Cadillac and 70's Grand Prix. I'll pass.

 

[Krzdimond]

kinda reminds me of the custom '69 VW bug a buddy had....... complete with the RR grille

 

[92Master]

I dont like it either. It sticks out so much farther than the stock grill and I dont like that huge point either.
Someone needs to come up w/ an ss style grill for our cars.

 

[blackroadmonster]

loonatyk that grille is for sale, if you do like it you should message him

 

[bdblly]

I don't think it looks bad, but the point just doesn't go with the roundness of a Roadmaster's rounded body lines.

 

[Loonatyk]

Yeah, i like it but it has a $700 price tag on it. Lack of exterior mods is the reason my car is about to go up for sale soon. I wants me a Caprice😀

 

[blackroadmonster]

$700?!?! and that would be US too holy s***

NOOOOOO, say it aint so. C'mon, man, RMs are unique, and besides this forum cannot afford to lose a tbi guy. We only have a few🙁

 

[Krzdimond]

what about a RM wagon???? It's still a Roadmaster...... but with the caprice front clip

 

[blackroadmonster]

krzdimond makes a good point loonatyk, i've seen wagoons with impala front ends and such, cause only the hood emblem and grille is different

 

[Loonatyk]

naw, i'm not in the least bit a wagon fan. I was gonna take the front bumper, hood and fender sides from a caprice and put them on the RM but that is too much and probably would cost me the same amout as gettin a Caprice via the auction. I'll keep my car until I get 160k on the clock and then it's time for sometin else. I love the RM but it looks boring and there aint too much you can do to fix that. As far as the TBI, the only people (Matt not included) who really help you in detail are other TBi guys who are lost themselves. It sucks. I'm on the first thing smokin. Sorry joe .. i really want an SS but I like the caprice better, it has the same capabilities and its waaay cheaper to buy.

Just out of curiosity, how much are you going to ask for your Roadmaster?

Actually the front bumpers on the RMWs are different, too. The ss grill would bolt up, but there would be a nice gap between the bottom of the ss grill and the bumper. You'd have to put on a caprice bumper to make it look right.

prolly 3k
