First time I've seen someone put a 4eye Bird nose on an '87-88 Cougar

That is a well-optioned Cougar, too.
Odd.

Not painted to match, so probably crunched the nose in, and that's all the wrecking yard had.

whats with the hood? is that just the difference between a 83-86 bird and a 87-88 cat? or did someone do a piss poor job? btw where in MD did u see that?

i thought about swappin a 4eyed nose on my car once. that moulding mis-match really kills the idea of an easy swap.

That's what I'm thinking. Cougars have been extremely difficult to find in yards around here lately. I did see an 85-86 light blue T-bird in a yard just over the line in PA which was missing the nose. I'm thinking this is it.

Nah, they did a bad job lining it up. I saw it about 5 miles from my house. Cecil County.


Does anyone else think that looks decent? I mean aside from the moulding difference I think it looks good. It of course would be better if they would work on the grille to get rid of the t-bird emblem. I'm sure they just wanted to get it on the road though.

graft a normal 87-88 cougar or tbird bumper cover on it then we would be talking.

Would the foureye fender mouldings fit?

yeah i really like it, obviously if it were better executed itd be that much nicer but that works for me. i really do like the four eye design better than the 87/88 one.
