I honestly don't think it will make much of a difference! But for ***** and giggles, why not!

I feel for the SS & VHO owners who've paid to be a part of the legacy. Folks like us who stick an SS bumper on and such to me take away from the real deal.

So you asked and I would say no. Do your own thing and paint where it's chrome. PhotoShop it and see.

I guess this is why serious collectors check serial numbers and such. I seen a Corvette that had a 307 in it once.
Oh I admit I am tempted to do the same but cannot go through with it. I would love a VHO front end.
