dime a dozen where i live.my friend has a 80 that he put all his 88lx stuff on, very easy. hood is diff, trim is the main issue. u dont need new fenders. i hate people who talk and dont know. ifu aint done it dont give advice, please!. i switch my old 86 notch, so this is first hand. get all the trim off a 87 -89 i know for a fact 92 and 93 mustangs have wider fender openings and trim is shorter in the front, im unsure on the 91 and 90, they might be wider too.but its really easy, and the back is just as easy, u can go gt or lx doesnt matter. the gt usally has a extra stud. so u drill the extra hole in the front of the lx fender. hope this helps. and no u wont get a a even exchange on a newer stang...its ur car ftw!
