i wanna build a 5.0 police replica im gonna either do a 4eye notch of a capri hatch with the mustang nose so i can have the flared look
um, there were no Coupes made with the Capri flares...as for the tail lamp lenses, you will have to cut up the tail lamp panel

That link won't work...

I know I like the look, though. So the '86 tails are more desirable, then? I just don't like the orange turn signals. Very tempo-ish.

funny, the four eye guys think that 87-93 headlamps look tempoish!

Yeah, they do. Which is why I'm so glad I've got a four-eye. Love the front, not crazy about the back. They're okay on a hatchback, but on a coupe it looks a lot like a tempo. I guess it's the orange that does it for me. Maybe I should just swap for the '79-82 tails...although, I don't guess that's a direct swap, either, is it?

Hmm I'd be losing money there, but I might just do it. I'll let you know when the time comes around to change them.
