hood, nose,header panel, lights, are what ya need i think. dont be suprised if ya get some negative comments on this issue. some guys are strongly against changing the "4 eyed" cars to the newer areo syle. good luck on yer decision though



also if you stay gt with the newer ones have the moldings on the bottom and on the door also you will need a gt rear bumper to match up the that molding

it will never look right unless you spend some serious time on it.

Don't switch it. If you want an aero nose (87+) then sell it and buy an aero. But don't kill another 4 eye.
