Shots are beautiful man. I have to say that color is one of the most coveted colors and I would hate to see it go...

Thanks man! I actually never noticed that wave in the rear bumper underneath the license plate until now. Hmm Unfortunately, I already watched it go a few months ago...

I vote stock, OR the Lexus matador red...I've seen that color a lot and it is a beautiful color, looks like it has a bit of candy in it

Do all aero foxes have the same front bumpers? I know the fenders are different but are there any other body parts that are different?

Bumper meaning your front wrap pr the fiberglass piece underneath it? The GT/ Cobra's used one type of wrap and a metal bracket to mount the fog lights to. 99% sure all 87-93 LX's used an LX specific wrap, with all aero years using the same one respectively. The piece that the headlights mount to(Think it's called the headlight reinforcement panel.) is the same on both, as well as the actual "bumper" wich is mounted to a version of "shock absorbers". From the looks of things, all you will need is a fender and a front wrap.

Ya I think 5.0Resto has them. And they finally started reproducing them where they said MUSTANG on the front like the originals. They used to just be smooth.

Yup:
With MUSTANG embossed:
87-93 Mustang Lx Front Bumper Cover From Original Ford Tooling at LRS
Without lettering:
87-93 Mustang Lx Front Bumper Cover Kit,
^but it also comes with a lot of other s**t that you probably don't need.

Acutally i think the bumper without the lettering would look cool with a Cobra grille. If i ever have to get a new bumer I'm going to get the one without lettering. The lettering with a Cobra grille looks kinda repetitive lol.

Sorry should have clarified. I knew you let yours go for the Chevelle, was just saying I would hate to see the OP lose that color on his by choice...
