Yuppers it's a straight bolt in affair BUT don't forget the lower brace for the front end, and the lx tailpipes wont clear the gt rear bumper.

you will need the front bumper cover and support the bumper itself will be metal on yours but fierglass on the newer ones either one will work you will need a rear bumper cover with brackets for support you will need a foglight bar the wiring will be colored the same but you will need to cut plugs off of a newer car you will need the ground effects and the stips to hold them on and the quarter windows and a hood if you need i do have parts for sale or trade

1 gt front cover with support and lights
1 pair of quarter windows
1 stock hood
1 rear bumper cover
1 foglight bar
and i might be getting a complete gt parts car in a few days

yeah seriously go buy another car dont ruin a perfectly good 4 eye. 85-86 stangs are getting harder and harder to find plus they look way meaner than an aero.

that z is just a heavy POS.....do exhaust intake and gears to the gt and you wont remeber the Z....but you do know the 92 and 95 are two totally diff body styles right?

lol its a 97 30th LT1.. things gone through and hasnt found a rear end to hold up yet.. no fox has messed with this sob.. lol AND AS FAR AS the two body styles yes i do.. i like 95 better in some cases.. but the camaro will flat out kick *** and no one has tried to stand up to its might.. its not a bolt on car.. unless you consider a whole rebuild a bolt on car things 500hp+ and has no tread left lol

zipping up my flame suit here:
an lt1 will mop the floor with a mustang of comparable years. especially his with the lt4 hci set. Looks are an opinion, times are a fact.
As far as converting the nose, I wouldnt. Like most guys are saying, sell yours and buy an aeronose car. Im not big on the four eyes, but does anyone know what to expect someone to buy that car for?
