Unhappy 84-93 cobra conversion

I just bought a 84 Mustang with a blown 4 cylinder in it. I dont like the bumper on. I really like the 93 cobra bumper. If anyone know if i could change it out it would be great i want it to look like a 93 cobra.

You're gonna need to get a new Hood and front fenders if you want to put on the cobra nose. Also splicing new style head light pigtails. If you want it to look like a 93 cobra clone you're gonna need gt side skirts, cobra rear bumper, Cobra spoiler. Also, if you just use a gt front bumper you can just add a cobra grill insert piece but you will have to modify the grill area to make it fit. Ohhh, And Cobra tail lights. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

It's really not all that hard of a swap.

My car is a 84 t-top / 93 cobra kit car.

93 conversion is not worth the money...

but finding an 81-82GT bumper.... very good move.

Yeah. +1 to that. Or a 79 pace car bumper or even the 82 Hood scoop added on too would look good I think.

you will lose popularity here if you murder a 4 eye... if you didnt like it, why did you buy it?

and like adder said, to do the whole thing correctly, its not worth the money
