Body kits for 79-83 Foxes

[67StangFan28]

Hi all,

I just bought my first Fox body, an '83 GT T-Top. About the only thing I have to complain about on the car is the front fascia. I can't stand the egg-crate-like grill. I've looked high and low but I can't seem to find any bumper covers that fit 79-83. If I could even find a stock '85 GT front fascia I would love to use that. Any input on this would be much appreciated! Thanks again.

saleen.

thats the only body kit on 4 eyes that looks respectable. 85-86 front facias are hard to find... but nice if you can convert.

I've seen the Saleen, but will it bolt up to an '83 easily or will modifications have to be done? And from pictures I've seen, the 85-86 Saleen looks like it has ground effects, or am I mistaken?

Thats another question I forgot to put in the original post, will 85-86 front fascia bolt on to any of the 79-86 cars? I'd like to keep the clean lines that the 83 already has, just a different look up front and maybe a different spoiler.

I'm with you. I love the lines on my 83 but the front bumper cover and grill kinda blow. Not too big on the 3 piece rear spoiler either but i can live with that. I would also like to find some way to fix that grill. An insert or something? hmm. I havn't looked at the saleen cover, i'll have to see if i can find it. My bumper cover isn't in the greatest shape anyways.

This is where a good machine shop is a godsend. There's an 83 running around this town that someone actually customised with a piece of billet aluminum cut out in the shape of a FORD emblem. The opening in the nose was modified to fit this thing in there but it looks sharp. Finding body kits for years earlier than 87 is tough. More than likely you'll end up having to be creative without ending up rice. I'd like to find a bolt on ground spoiler for the front of my 86 and haven't had any luck yet. I've seen kits that have the whole front end but I like my front end the way it is. Just want to cut the air under the car a bit is all.
