Adding an aero package to a coupe is old news, but I've never seen non aero front fascia's on GT's. How bout it?

Maybe someone can photoshop it.........

I've seen a couple of 'em in person. Some people like it. I don't particularly, but so long as the owner is happy, it's fine with me.

Not my car but here is a pic of one. I think it looks really clean this way.
I have seen acouple of cars that are using just the coupe nose adn keeping the rest of the aero package and I don't personaaly like it as well as this.
Sorry I do not remember whose car this is. I got the pic off of here some where.

My fav Fiero nose is the 84 with pads. I put one on my custom 86 GT and liked it much better. Looks like a Lotus Esprit. GT noses catch every stone on the highway, and if you get bumped, you get scratched paint. Like said, its personal taste.

it's an easy swap if that is what you are asking. Just make sure you get the coupe facsia support too.

Here are a few pics that Steve took of my 88 with a fastback conversion. The first picture is before I modified the nose.

Here is after.

I love the way it looks

Most if not all of the cars in this thread started with the coupe nose, (body) and had fastback conversions. That's not quite the same as putting a coupe nose on a GT.

I have a GT that is facia-less and if I were to build it up I would put a coupe nose on it because I'm fresh out of GT noses.

I've never been able to get past the long overhang on the front of GT's compared to the short rear. Ditto for Firebird-Trans Am cars.
