Thats a nice car but I think I like the front on the one that I posted. Do you know which model exactly that front came on?

You meean with the blacked-out grille and the blacked-out headlight bezel? No models came with that. That's custom.

I know that in 86 in the Turbo coupe they came wtih the blacked out grill and the black headlight buckets. Don't know if they did that to the cougar or not.

I kinda figured that but I like how the grill only has vertical lines.

That's the '83-'84 grille.

’83-’86 Turbo Coupes & ’85-’86 XR-7’s used the same lower bumper cover with the Marchal fog lamps.
So to get that look you could either mount an ’83-’86 Turbo Coupe/’85-’86 XR-7 bumper cover onto an ’83-’84 Cougar or put an ’83-’84 Cougar grill on an ’85-’86 XR-7.

Paint as desired. ;)

Billyf17's car has the look that you are wanting with some added ground effects.

would the cougar hood fit a turbo coupe as well?

Same hood basically 83-88 the big difference is those vents.

Not trying to hi-jack but, I'm thinking about going with a 4-eye front end on my '88...is it all bolt on...just splice in the earlier wiring?  If somebody knows, please PM me.

Thanks,
Don

Yeah that's what I'm gonna do to my '88 Turbo Coupe but I specificaly want the '83-'84 grille (or at least that's what somebody said it was) that only has the vertical lines like this one.

Yeah, I was thinkin that the fround end with the fog lights would be pretty cool but somebody showed me a pic of one and to be honest it really doesn't look as clean.
