Nose Swap Reply #2 – November 04, 2011, 02:18:32 PM here we go again lol.. the 4 eyed header will bolt right up to your 87-88 front clip. the bumper impact molding won't line up directly with the impact molding on the rest of the car.. that's an easy fix though lol Quote Selected

Nose Swap Reply #4 – November 04, 2011, 03:46:12 PM I think you can, but I have not tried it. Your headlights will need wired differently. I know I have seen people use 87-88 thundebird bumpers with cougar headers, so I think it should swap, but not 100%. The 83-86 cars have the turn signal in the bumper, and the bumper is metal.

Nose Swap Reply #5 – November 04, 2011, 04:03:46 PM Be honest, what was the thing that drove you to consider this?I thought about it for headlights that don't suck and everytime I see a pic of 1badstang's bird at the top of the page. Quote Selected
Nose Swap Reply #6 – November 04, 2011, 11:03:22 PM I just think the 4 eyed cars look meaner. Quote Selected
Nose Swap Reply #7 – November 05, 2011, 12:00:29 AM i used to be partial to the non-tc aero header and lights, but the 4 eyed clips have grown on me tremendously.. i'm not sure about the whole bumper thing, but it may be possible.. if i find a 4 eyed clip soon, i'll let you know.. i plan on doing it to 1 of my cars (probably the new 1) Quote Selected
Nose Swap Reply #8 – November 05, 2011, 12:15:16 AM I personally think the 4-eye cars look better with the aero clip Quote Selected
Nose Swap Reply #9 – November 05, 2011, 12:21:04 AM you're also a sleek-nose TC header kind of guy :p lol Quote Selected
Nose Swap Reply #12 – November 05, 2011, 09:08:42 AM I think I've mentioned it before but I'm partial to the 87-88 noses. I like how they're rounded yet come to a point like an actual birds head. I like the older 4 eyed Birds and Cats, I had an 85 and almost bought another recently. Quote Selected
