What's required to change a 1988 LX into a 1986 LX?

I was wondering all the things needed, like a wiring change, underneath the cover pieces, what the real differences are.

I thought about doing the same thing once. But got some neg replies about why not just buy a 85 or 86, and just keep the mustang nose org. But if you still want to do it. You will need the obvious nose clip, support brackets behind the nose, light harness which you could just clip and solder onto yours, psgr/drvr fenders and I believe the body molding cause it is different. That's about it... Oh and the hood too, cause the hood is different. peace out
