I know that people like to "90" coupes and such from the 80s. Some even try to "90" the 70s models with caprice headlights.

But I've never seen this before. An Eldorado with a 90s Brougham front end. That looks mighty cool, but I bet it took a lot of body work. Without all the other donkish trim, that would look pretty sleek. It really has that 80s/90s Bently look with the raised edges on the side of the hood that Eldos have.

Don't know if the door trim is there, too. I wonder if the Brougham grill would fit, or if that bumper has been squooshed.

Would look decent without the E&G grille.

I have always thought that the 90-92 bumper would look amazing with the holes filled and re-chromed. Imagine that big bumper, and those huge side pieces solid chrome:

Though I'm not a big fan of the euro front ends, I do like how people use them to change up their '80's cars. Those Eldo's look like the Eldorado Cadillac should have made in 1990, and well this looks like the Brougham (option) they should have had in 1990+:

I think that would only look good if the door bottoms were wide chrome to go along with it. It would make the bumper look good and super big tho!!

That Eldo looks pretty damn cool, I wonder if they had to narrow the front bumper?

I think it would be cool if somebody did the 90 bumper like you said, all chrome with the Euro lights. Just leave off the side body cladding, leave that orginal mid door trim and lower chrome rockers.

You see that occasionally. I've seen folks put the 90s header panel on an 80s front bumper. They keep the black front moulding and fender fillers, but the headlights are composite.

I think it looks better that way, than replacing the front clip, if you're going to leave off the door mouldings. Otherwise you have 90s trim on the quarter panels, but not on the doors.

There's a caprice near where I live that has 90s Brougham door trim. It looks tacky as all get-out, but the guy sure is proud of it.

I've seen that, I've also seen them put in "euro" lights on 3rd gen Camaros. Its one big rectangular light with two projectors, kind of looks silly on that car IMO.
