Is it possible to mount a 85-86 bumper on a 89 gt mustang?

Will the fenders line up right/fit right?
Will the stock ground effects hang way lower than the bumper?
Will the hood line up right/fit right?

Yes its possible you will need the fender extensions from an 84-86
You would also need a hood from an 84-86

IMO its gonna look outa place. Ofcourse you can not do it, sell the 89 and go buy a real 4 eye if thats the look you are after

Not sure whats worse, ruining a 4 eye to make it look like everyone elses 87-93 or ruining a 4 eye by putting the bumper on an 87-93 [Razz]

ok, thanks for the input, I was a little hasty in purchasing my 89 as I really wanted a 5.0, but I realy wanted a square eye.

thanks for the info
