License Plate Holder interchange?

March 05, 2008, 01:09:46 PM

Anyone know if the front license plate holder from an '87/'88 T-Bird will fit a '87/'88 Cougar or is the bumper different enough?  I know the molding is the same profile, but I think the T-bird bumper comes to more of a point.  Anyone know for sure?

The Cougar license tag is mounted lower on the bumper than the Tbird.  If you had a tbird one on your car it would be up in the grill area.  Thats if you could even get it to fit.

The contours are different on the front bumpers as well (T-Bird bumper = pointy).  It'll look weird if you got it to go on anyway...
