Four Eye "GT" Side Molding's?

[93tealstang]

Wondering if the side molding's that came from the early four eye GT's will fit an 87-93? I'm talking specifically about the molding behind the door that says "GT". Looking at possibly getting some if it's a direct swap.

They will fit, but you will have to modify the 87-93 ground effects. Since the 87-93 Gt ground effects are on piece with the moldings where the 86 style GT moldings go...

TTT, can you elaborate a little with this? I have another chance to pick some up and want to really know what I am getting into.

The side molding on the 87+ GT's is actually part of the ground effects. Only the peice that runs across the door is a separate peice of molding.

The 85-86 GT's are more like LX's that have balt molding all the way around except for the front and rear bumpers

they will fit. we have side modling doors truck lid hood and seats out of a 89 GT vert

nope they wont unless you butcher your ground effects

What exactly has to be done to the ground effects to make them fit? Is is a hard job for an auto body shop to do?

You'll have to take the GFX off, cut off the molding part and then figure out a way to reattach the GFX and the new molding while making it look factory.

Then you'll need to deal with the rest of the molding of the car not matching since it will all have the tape stripe slot in it except for the 85-86GT peice.

easier to say that it cant be done. the only piece of the molding on an 87-93 GT that is seperate is the door piece, the front piece is molded as one piece with the fender extention, the pieces in front of and behind the door are molded into the side skirts and the part behind the rear tire is molded in with the rear fender extention. nothing about the 85-86 piece matches the 87-93 piece, even if you did cut it all apart and try to attach the "GT" piece. the shapes and contours are totally different.
