My LX to GT conversion..

[Bad92GT]

I got bored with my car.. it needed a paintjob.. and i needed something to do.. so i got a deal on this for 100 bucks.. im missing 4 smaller pieces but it came with the foglight bars and all ford parts so it was a good deal..

even came with the door moldings! woot

took me a while to figure out where the hell the fog light bar mounts lol

heres the close to finished product

didnt turn out to bad... im going from a LX bumper with holes in it everywhere and rips to a clean nicer bumper lol i'll updatre somemore tonight when i get something else done.. also if anyone has any GT pieces like the one behind the front bumper on the driver side and the rear part of the side skirts, and the one piece on the driver side in front of the rear bumper.. thats what im missing.. if yall could help me out pleeasseee... thanks

Looks like youre making good progress.

make sure you either dump the exhaust or put some turn-down tips on it...DON'T cut up that GT bumper!!!

 

[Strype]

Lookin' good!

 

[Bad92GT]

yep i know.. im just dumping it until i go to a cobra bumper and magnaflow exhaust with the tips to come out.. but if anyone can help me out on the GT pieces im missing i'd appreciate it.. thanks

I have seen a few people not cut the gt bumper persay but acutally leave the lx tips and put holes in the bumper...and if its done right...IMO doesnt look bad....i have see them done poorly and it ruins the car....personally i would have some1 do it for me or just put dumps...i hate the GT tailpipes

not sure what exacly your after...i can't even visualize which peices are what for some reason lol...they seem to all be on ebay though....just search 'GT ground effects'

 

[Bad92GT]

well i think i got a deal on all the parts i need.. but heres a updateness.. the exhaust and rear bumpers done.. and all the LX moldings are off so now it looks like a stripped GT lol ah and if anyone can give me a good pic of where all the brackets for the side skirts go i'd appreciate it.. anywho

before

during

it looked to me like i have an aluminum rear bumper, isnt that rare or am i mixing something up?
after

the rear bumper wasnt that bad.. just had a few places i had to shove some wood in to straighten it out.. but it mounted up llike a glove lol

nice work man. definitly a nice thing that u already have the GT wing going in, an LX winged GT is gross IMO. question tho, did u have the holes to screw the foglight bracket, aluminum part, to the bumper or is it hanging? cant tell too well from pics? also, what year were those from, my aluminum pieces has ovals cut out of the bracket?

Not a fan of GT's but it's lookin' good.

thanks guys, bolts up factory.. theres holes on the inner bumper.. everywhere that a GT piece goes, a fox has the holes for it.. i found that out.. havent had to modify anything thankfully. There two big holes and two smaller ones.. big ones are the brutes and hold most of the weight while the smaller pull it into place.. it went it like it was factory so im assuming its correct.. also you'll find the factory plugs in the harness to plug right up.. im getting the switch here soon for the interior and i know the plug is in there for it..

I didn't say I hated them. LOL, I just prefer the look of the LX more. GT's aren't ugly just not as pretty to me...

*cries*

I'M SORRY!

 

[lxwants12's]

[Aaron]

Sorry - I didn't mean any harm! LX's are cool too!

Seriously, how did you get that front cover to line up with the top of the fenders so well... I just put a new bumper on the 89 and it doesn't match up.
