youll have to just splice the wiring for it to work with the new headlight pigtails. i want your old stuff because i love the way 86's look and i wish i would have bought one

If you change the front clip, your mid mouldings will be all off. I think the car looks nice the way it is, and I don't like that style. I have convrted a few, but I look back and think if I wanted a 87 and up style I should have just bought one.

Your car is nice, I would change the rims but I have never liked that style.

Where you located?? I will help you do the swap and even help locate parts, if you will sell that 86GT clip to me for reasonable.

Too nice of a car to molest. If you wanted a aero nose, why did you buy the car in the first place? Great price? I love 4eyes, but $1500 for a good condition LX (family deal there) and better looking interior won me over.
