RE: GT to LX
Youll have some body work to do after removing the GT ground effects.
The rear bumper and the small extension on the 1/4 you can simply swap out for an LX piece. Youll need to remove the brackets riveted to the GT bumper, no biggie.
The front bumper is a simple swap, just remove the fog light brackets.
The fender scoop you can swap with an LX molding no problem.
The ground effects on the rocker panel have metal strips behind them to hold the effects on. They are riveted to the rockers so youll have to weld the holes shut or some other way of closing them. There are strips on the fender and i believe on the 1/4 as well, also riveted.
Replace the door molding with an LX piece and get some LX/Cobra tailpipes and you should be set.
