But if you get some headlight covers your car will look better than the 87-93's anyway.

PS: Lund makes the nicest ones for the 85-86

Just a friendly FYI....
You will get nothing but grief from people whom love the looks & style of the "foureyes". There is no greater blasphemy, in thier eyes, than installing an "aero-nose" front on it or performing what they call the "Tempo nose conversion". If you need foureye parts, restoration help, and or sources; you could go to "thier' website for a ton of info> www.foureyedpride.com So...... Be prepared for the hate posts; they will be comming shortly.....

OK, let's look at it another way, an 86 and an 87 have the same basic resale value, so, if you sell your car and buy another, it will be less than swaping it over. You will need a new hood, bumper cover, lights, rear bumper cover, side/door mouldings...and that is just to make it look half-way decent. If you really want to completely do a full aero-nose Tempo swap, the sail panels, mirrors, drip rail mouldings and belt mouldings are also different. If you remove the sail panels and instal the 87-93 quarter windows, you will have to swap out the interrior panels for the whole rear of the car as well as the rear seat belts, then paint everything to match. All of a sudden, selling the car looks like it's the best option, doesn't it?
