Fox 87-93 LX Notchback Fox Body Front End Swap requirements?

[carDaniel15]

So I have been thinking about getting a Fox Body Mustang and like the rear end of the Notchback more then the hatchback but I prefer the GT Front End As I like how clean it is. What are the requirements for changing the front end? Is it a straight Bolt-On? Does It require any fabrication?

straight bolt on once you get all the parts. You'll need the front bumper and the two front fender extensions ahead of the front wheel. If you want to add the fog lights you'll need the foglamps and the support bracket and the switch.

Keep in mind, the GT and LX molding is slightly different, so from the side view you would see the difference in molding. It's subtle. The tape stripe channel is a different width between LX and GT

It is also important to note that the 87-90? is different than the 91?-93 front fenders and fender extensions (bigger wheel well opening for larger wheels/tires) so make sure you get the right fender extensions for your year model.

side by side pic? (2 seperate)?

I think I want an 'areo' nose on the '85
(cant get the 4eye headlight bezels for repair. Krazy
to swap just for that but I'm tired of lookin these 1 or 2 yrs).

Please don't do this..

I agree, the four eye look rocks

Look into an outlaw lx bumper cover over a gt, couple companies make them in different lengths... More for drag cars but so much cleaner then using a gt front clip..

let's C it (pic)
&/or
sell me some ltd/marquis headlight bezels. The stang's dont fit. The T-birds havea different prt #...
Kinda stuck, can it take the whole '79/'86 stang front? Lotta prts, kinda expensive...

To add onto this, what if GT Ground Effects were applied? Would something like Maier Widebody Fenders work on such a thing?
