I should have one available in about a month...I'm moving this month and transporting my '88 Cougar back home so I can start tearing it down.

If you find one before then, let me know.

I'm not sure. I think the tip of the bumper is different. Anybody know for sure?
 
EDIT: Definately will not fit.
