Damn what junkyard is that? You should go there weekly, you could sell stuff online and make a killing. They should be able to tell you what you need as far as actual parts. I would imagion since your getting used stuff your going to have to do some body work to make everything line up and look ok.

I am in the middle of the GT to LX conversion right now. Not at all the PITA everyone said it would be. All the GT ground effects (remember, that's what it was called back then) are held in by simple screws and a few brackets that are rivvetted to the body with small rivets, you just unscrew and lift off, that simple. The only thing is you'll need to either swap bumpers as well or cut/chissel the bottom supports of the rear bumper. It is all painted under there, just hope it didn't give you the bedliner effect. It didn't for me. Not much weight, but a lot of bulk deleted. I guess I'll be 90MustangLX soon.
