Default Which C4 Vette front bumper do you like best

Do you like the early style with the fog lights seperated from the side marker lights or the newer style with the fog lights linked to the side marker lights? BTW I am looking at either keeping my early style black bumper or going to a Ecklers molded newer style that fits right onto an early style front of a Vette and it would also be all black. Thought?

i've always liked the 84-90 front and rear a ton over the 91-96.

i'm not sure what casting a poll will do for you though. what do others have to do with what you think? c'mon soldier, you're a leader, run your own show

I'm sure that there are some owner's of chrome bumper C3's who converted their cars to the urethane style. They would be kicking themselves right now.

I'm not sure about the front, the later ones look more aerodynamic. Now for the rear, the early style all the way. Later style isnt even a corvette

I like the early style better ... it has that cool 1980s look and nicer lines ...

As far as the back end .... I like the earlier style as well ... a Corvette looks better with round tail lights ... IMO that keeps the lineage going ...

Honestly. Not just because I own one, I like the old style front with the square tail light rear of the 90 ZR1. The best of both styles.

I own a 94 with the newer front end style, but I really like the earlier front better. Funny, I like the later rear end and the earlier front end.

Early ZR1 is the best

I prefer the later front (more areodynamic and smoother looking) with the early rear (more reminiscent of the current Vette). Love my round lights and with my 315's and dropped it looks bad as he!! from the rear

Early front all the way,it has a mean attitude something like a frown face,like its kinda mad,later front does not have attitude at all.Something is missing with the late fronts,too much of a modern car,they miss something.they miss soul and personality.

for the rear,im in disguise,i love late tail but i like early too !
i have an 87,but wouln't touch the rear,cuz even thou i like the late rear
its not too much to swap it,no no,i better stay with the early one!

Kind of funny how things grow on you. I like the round tail lights better than the square ones. The front, I always liked the later C4 better. But lately, I think I'm starting to like the early C4 just as much. I'm biased, I own an 87.
The one thing I would change, if I paint the car, I'll paint the beltline to match the body. Black beltline on a white car, I just don't think it works.
