Yes it's been done, but the cougar and thunderbird clips from 86 back are very similar. I think the 87-88 turbo coupe clips would look the coolest on an 86.

Lines wouldn't exactly match up, though. (87-88 nose on 86 body)

No one ever notices that the lines on my car dont match up!
 The older cougar and tbird front clips do look pretty much the same, 87/88 front clip would look the best.

Whether other people notice it or not is largely irrelevant. If HE notices it, and doesn't like it, that could be a problem.

I notice the flaws in my cars all the time.. it drives the perfectionist in me nuts.. but I try not to let it get to me too much.
