I was wondering if anyone has seen a 83-86 Cougar with the grill modified in some way. Im not a fan of the stock chrome grills and I think Im going to be taking on my own XR7 project next and want to do something different with its look.
On my TC I got rid of its chrome grill and painted the surround body color then blacked out the center. I love this look and wondered how a Cougar would look with same treatment.

Are all 83-86 grills the same?
What about using a Tbird header panel and grill to make a hybrid Tugar Coupe? lol
Not modified but I did paint it.

Just a little trim paint.
The grills swap 83-86.
I had a 87 bird and swapped a 87 cougar front end onto it. Even the trim lined up.
