Trying to convert my 83 mustang from the original four eye look to the newer foxbody style. What do I need besides the front bumper and new headlights?

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo LOL its your car but man lots of people like the 83 front ends. cant you just sell it or trade it for a newer one instead?

I wanted to do it cause the car is a t-top and I thought it would be hella clean

I have a nice 84.5 front bumper cover available ( same as 83/84 but with factory foglight cutouts)
Also have nice foglights and mounting panel available as well.

If you want everything to match and look right, you wil need:
front/rear bumper, fenders and mouldings.

Also, you need the inner fiberglass bumper and bumper shocks for the front- the rear inner bumper is the same, early to late.

Oh, and DO NOT let on about aero swaps at 4 eyed pride- they tend to shit their pants over things like that.
