Cougar front bumper on t-bird turbo coupe?

Does anyboy know if a front bumper like the one on this guys cougar would fit on an 88 thunderbird turbo coupe? I was thinking about going with an 86 thunderbird front but I like this look much better!

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)

The body lines won't match up, but it will bolt up.

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.

So it will work but the body lines will be a little off. Thats cool I'm sure I could (for the right price) find a bedy shop that could use filler to make the body lines look a little beter. Thanks guys!
