I can't remember if I saw it here, or facebook. There was a picture of a 4-door pontiac or other GM FWD car with a 70's firebird front end grafted on. Anyone know where that pic is?

Wow, they replaced one of the ugliest front clips Pontiac ever designed with THE ugliest front clip Pontiac ever designed.

I'll admit that it's the ugliest of the second Gen firebirds. But it's still better than 100% of everything else. It's like getting a date with the ugliest supermodel, she's still a supermodel.

Nope. That car is no supermodel.
It's more like getting a date with the ugliest supermodel and just when you don't think it can get any worse you find out she's a he.
Wow guys, that's a lotta hate on the old 79-81 Firebird/TA front-end. I admit it's not my favorite, but definitively not the worst. I was always amused by the 74/75 front end with it's little Rhett Butler mustache:
I'd still take any of the above over any 2nd gen Camaro made after 1973.

Sorry, the '79-'81 duckface / snorkel / buggybumper thing qualifies as one of the worst facelifts of all time.
The creator of that monstrosity is a jerk, because that nose is nicer than the one on my '79!
I don't mind the 79-81 nose, but I have thought about swapping the 77-78 beak onto mine. It requires a lot more parts than you think: new headlight cage, grilles, bezels, and a completely different front spoiler/undertray. It can get expensive very quick.
