Has anyone put the turbo coupe nose on a cougar before? I was wondering how it would look.

Doors forwards it will look like a tbird, not until you get to the back window there is a visual difference.

I swapped a 87 cougar front end in my 87 tbird. The trim lines up and all the lights plug right in. Looking at it head on, you couldnt tell any difference.Only a side profile would.

I'm thinking it would make the cougar look a little more sporty. lol I may give it a try.

Didn't someone use the Cougar header and the TC bumper cover together? I think they cut the Cougar grill down to fit if I remember correctly.

Man I really would have liked to have seen it. I looked up the Samantha but no pics. I wondered about the turbo coupe bumper as well. Jus wasn't too keen on cutting the grill.

I like the look of the cougar in the link. I think the turbo coupe bumper looks so much better than the cougars.
