Reply #2 – June 08, 2007, 03:44:08 PM fender mounting points are the same.swap the headlight harness, i would get a 4 eyed Bird header panel though,( they are different) the bumpers are the same as far as t-bird cougar goes. you might want to get a TC bumper cover also or an XR-7 so it stay the correct trim level of options ( have the fog light cut outs) Quote Selected

Cougar front bumper on t-bird turbo coupe? Reply #5 – June 09, 2007, 08:32:31 AM This is an '87-88 Cougar that I saw with a 4 eyed Bird nose. You can see how the molding and body lines are different just to give you a better idea.By the way, the woman that drives that car drives like a friggin nut. I don't think she's aware how bad the brakes are on these cars. Come to think of it, that's probably how she ruined the original Cougar nose. Quote Selected
