I took the original Standard front nose of the Camaro and grafted the turn signal housings from an RS to create a hybrid front nose. This was done because I have never liked the urethane “bumper” on the 70-73 RS, but I like the look of the open grill. I am considering blending the split bumpers onto the front nose and grill surround. The turn signal housings will be used for cold air intake ports (which just screams for twin turbos). I want to incorporate the turn signals from a 69 Camaro into the lower valance to replace the goofy rectangular turn signals on the Standard Camaro.
