I assume this is about 'what u like' rather than 'what u got'?

Well the answer is already in the question: Chrome or Plastic? :crazy:

I think it's the abrupt rearend that looks good on the C3's. 73 was the last year for this rear end style. The plastic front ends on 73 and up, in my opinion, do not detract from the looks at all.

I love the Chrome look, but I wouldn't mind having a 74 or 75 convertible. The rubber bumper on theses bodys look great :cool: My friend just bought a 75 vert and I cant wait to see it!!
