picture of the front smile please (SC)
 
I just removed my old front "smile" (serious rust inside) off my '83 sc and have set the new one in place. However, I didn't take a picture of the old one before I removed it (I know, I know...) and the new doesn't seem to sit as far in. What I mean, is that it doesn't touch the front trunk seal, and I am thinking the old on did. Can some one please post a pic of the front bumper smile with trunk lid up please? I want to see if mine is far enough in, or if I am catching on something maybe? Seems to fit great, just doesn't look quite right somehow...Thanks in advance.

I have an 86, and I'm not sure if it is exactly the same but here are a few pictures. Let me know if you need a different angle.

that's exactly what I was looking for (and I think yours should be identical to mine). Thank you. It seems your smile touches the hood seal, where mine is now too far away...hmmmmm. I will have to mess around with it and try and figure out what is stopping it from touching.

I see where I am having a little bit of fitment issues. The slot in the smile for the fender edge is not deep enough, or the fender is misaligned. I think I will wait until I have new metal screws before I start messing around cutting stuff. It might just fit well enough for a daily driver. Thanks again for the pics.

After a night to sleep on it, it might just slip right into place. Good luck!
