Default nose swap on a fox?

I was just wondering if a 1979-1982 front nose, with the air dam like the GT's, will fit my 90? What would i need to change to make it fit? Nose, support bumper, hood, wiring for headlights, is that it?

i "think" you also need all the moldings, wich would basically mean the rear bumper too. that's one heck of a job.

the easiest and cheapest route is to seel your car and buy a real 1979 Pace Car, 1980-81 Cobra or 1982 GT. The side mouldings are going for about $700 on E-Bay right now, and the front bumper cover will go for $500, and that is not counting the rear bumper cover, the hood, hood scoop, the sail panels, all interrior trim....

Well, I love the mean look of the Pace Car style front end ever since I owned one a few years back. Would you really notice the difference in moldings? I dont think it would be that noticeable. Found a nose here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/79-82...QQcmdZViewItem And the air dam here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/79-82...QQcmdZViewItem

the 1979-84 mouldings are the same, and yes, you will notice the difference
