Riviora? Auriera? I like it. It'll take a lot of bumper shaving around the fenders to make it work, and maybe you could still use the chrome trim from the Riviera, but if you pull this off it'll look great.

Doesn't look bad at all. I personally liked your other front end off the newer Aurora though, but this one still looks great. You should just open up a company and do this kind of work for people.

I think that if you wanted an Aurora look (which is very unique, like the Riviera), you should have started with an Aurora and then swapped your Series 2 into that.

I guess the Riviera back end does look cooler than the Aurora's, so this combo would be unique, but I personally love the front of the Riviera and wouldn't change it.

You really put a lot on your plate regarding this transformation... I'd say just focus on performance first, then when you're satisfied (IF that ever happens) then move on to heavy appearance mods.

But you seem more like a guy who wants to go fast.

Might want to look in the service manual for G body - you know, the Aurora front end clip might mostly bolt on...

not a bad idea corey, it will be one hell of a lot of work, but it will look cool when its done. im not sure i like the font end of the aurora more than the front of the riv, but it does give it a sporty look and will be unique, and thats cool. kinda confused by ur last post where u said ur not keeping the riv though (?).

Too anyone who knows cars, it's going to look like he crunched the Riv's front end and couldn't find a replacement so he used Aurora parts.

I like it Corey, looks like you did a good job.

It would have been nice for the Aurora's to have a coupe to choose from like the Alero did.

And in turn, where's the Regal coupe? The Alero and Regal are like the same right.

The best use of the Aurora in a movie was definitly Batman Begins as the vehicle of Katie Holmes' mom/guardian. The style was lost with the second gen, they both are nice but I preffer the streamlined first gen.

Sorry, got to disagree. The second generation looks much more high class. The first generation always looks like it's missing something. Their tail lights also made me think of a very cheap old car like an old Buick Century from the early 90's. I like the newer Auroras back end especially with the extra little lights in the bumper. The front end looks much nicer too. I saw one going down the expressway and it was the first newer style Aurora I had seen. I thought it looked so awesome but since it was dark I had no idea what it was.

Now that we've got one, I definately know it was an Aurora smile
