why do people help make old cars look bad

The OP mentioned grilles and bumpers in the 1st post.
For me I like stock looking which sucks cuz a 67 and 69 cuda grilles are not cheap and not interchangeable.
That said we all make our personal choices in regards to our car. Whether its DIY resto or modify or "patch work" or do high end stuff. Grilles and bumpers painted black and/or body color can look great, and also look shitty but the stock appearing can look just as shitty. Its an individual choice/bellybutton

What you did with the duster looks awesome!
I believe member gdrill has a valiant with sharkstooth grille. Amazing.
Steve, you mean like dis?? :D
