yeah it will fit, but if your gonna do that, get a Lx rear bumper and mustang taillights and swap them in place of the capri's rear clip, otherwise the hatch will look kinda funny.

there was a MMFF issue last year that featured a '86 Capri RS with t-tops. he swapped out the rear hatch, bumper and taillights to the LX style, and also swapped out to 87-93 quarter glass. the car looked awesome has a really nice paintjob, it was like a metallic copper sort of color.
