No, not unless your good at custom fabrication lol. There are some pics in a thread on here where there's an 87-93 lx front bumper with a lower 03 cobra front bumper molded onto it. The thread Is called Fender flares if you want to take a look at it. But to actually answer your question. fox mustangs, 79-93 parts are interchangeable, which includes the body kits. 94 and 95 will not fit.

You will need the nose and a hood along with rewiring the headlights...again. The older hood will work with the newer nose but it won't line up and look wierd with the mismatch. The header panel will come with a nose piece, unless other wise noted.

the 4 eye is rare ! yes its worth more in appearance, but its not the year of the 4 eye, so the value of you car goes down.

well i can try to explain it. the only difference is the little drop down above the grill as far as i know because the fenders are the same. so there will be about a two inch gap above the grill between the hood and the grill.

hope u can understand that lol. if not one of these guys can for sure
