Yes but you have to replace your whole front clip from an '87 stang.

thats a lot of work to do and ive seen posts about people changing the four-eyes to 87-93 front clips and the four eye guys get pretty upset haha. at first i didnt like the four-eyes either but theyre growing on me big time. i say keep it the way it is.

Four eyes are rare enough as it is, in my opinion. But hey, its up to you.

If you decide to take that front off.... Let me know. Mine's all busted up on my'85.
I think it wouldn't be too bad. If you've done body work before. You'd probably have to changethe radiator support, hood, and nose. But it'd cost alot. Unless your a junkyard dog.

is that a picture of your car? or is that a stock photo? that front end looks real clean, and that was the first mustang I ever drove, except it was a vert, but I want that car.. if its not to bad maybe I could swith you for my 95.. , thats a great look, the 86 is the last of that look, you should save a little money and sell that one and buy the newer car, dont screw up aclassic, and thats EXACTLY what that is...

I love the look of the 4 eyed look, looks really good i wouldn't change it you have the last of that look, like my 93 GT. The last of the fox look I love that front so much i'm thinking of buying a 85-86 just to have one

Yea for my 3rd stang I actually went out looking for an '86 specifically because I DO like the look of the frontend, if I can find a pic of my old '86 I'll post it.

At the time I HATED the '87+ frontends because too me they looked too Euro [:@]
