Default '82 GT bumper cover/grill

Hey all. I will hopefully be in the market for a fox later this year and I fell in love with the black '82 GT some time ago. We all know how abundant those are though, and I don't want to mess with trying to straigten out the body on any I might find (plus not the best to start with from mechanical standpoint).

I could probably live with just a Xenon air dam on a 85-86 (pic), but I was wondering if it's possible to put the '82 style grill on there also. I'm fairly sure it is, but I havn't seen any repro parts anywhere. [&o]

how much does that xenon airdam kit cost? I love that look! the '82 GT has to be the best looking 4 eye ever made, especially if it is a t-top car.

man, I want that kit now lol...

Actually I think that show pic of the '85 with '82 airdamn is the best look ever. I love the 82 air damn, but don't like the grill. So the '85 grill with 82 airdamn looks sweet They are interchangeable so I say go for it! And with the 16" Ponies that is one fine looking resto-mod!

Here's the link to the Xenon air dam. Meant to post it originally... must be gettin' old.

If I'm not crazy, that pic that Flamin posted is a 87-93 with a four eye front, or vice versa. Notice the side moldings.

Yeah, that thing made me wish I had a 4 eyes. I thought for a minute about junkyard hunting for a nose like that. But, I then realized my hood wouldnt fit with it. [&o] Darn, atleast i have the HO motor.


I wonder how difficult it is to get that Xenon air damn on the 87-93's? Plus, I wonder how much lower it hangs.
