Matt I don't think you'll find a grooved hood on an '82. They do have the bonnet lettering, though. Other nice features of the '82: The retractable rear antenna, many recalls already performed, the heavier motorola alternator and the silver as opposed to grey alloy wheels. Some '81's have some of those features too, but only '82s have the cool slant cut, hefty tail pipes. And of course, they're rarer than '81's. - Wayne "Living the Dream!" VIN...11174 (definitely '82!)
