what is the difference between cougar and tbird nose panels, 83-85. to me they look the same, with slightly different grilles.
also, will a mustang bumper bolt to an 83
Isn't the header a little different to accomodate the grill?
Angles are different...nothing interchanges between them except for the headlights themselves. The T-Bird is more swept back; the Cougar is more upright.
Eric, do you know if the aluminum bumpers from the early Mustangs fit under the T-bird bumper covers properly?
i'm wondering if a mustang front bumper will fit and at least halfway match, cause i wanna go for a sort of cobra style front bumper if possible, otherwise i was going to get another front bumper and make a custom (and no it wouldnt be for looks, i'm actually planning a usefull splitter on the front, i like to go fast and i want my car PLANTED)
If you look at the cars from a bird's-eye view, the leading edges are different. That said, I think an SN95 lower valence will fit .. with enough work.
its not so much the lower valance, as i would rather have a full bumper cover to work with. as it sits, if i keep a stock tbird bumper, i will have to add a splitter to the bottom for downforce. if i go with a fox mustang bumper cover in the cobra style, the ones i've seen have a leading edge i can reinforce and add to. i understand the leading edge of the bumper cover is differently shaped, they only part i'm really worried about matchin is to the fenders.
