changing bumperpads out for gt fascias
anything special I should keep in mind??

Guess I may as well do my battery relocate and Tom's headlights while the hoods off too.

Make sure you have the gt cartons and you should be fine. If you don't have the wheel well extenders your wheel wells will have an open space in them. If photobucket starts working again I'll post a pic

The GT used different energy absorbers? I think I have them here somewhere.

I think they did, but I'm not about to pull off my bumper and find out lol.

Yea, I'll prolly grab some extra material from the u pull it and fill the gaps then attach with plastic rivets or something.

Pretty sure the honeycomb is different for each bumper type. In a pinch, I guess you could put some spray on foam inside after you mount it.

I just changed mine out today orginally an "86" coupe front, installed a GT front Fascia make sure you have the rubber shock absorber they are different also the front inner fender well's are different, and make sure you have the front blinker lenzes brackets the origanal blinkers lenzes will fit into them.

I didn't bother when I went from 88 coupe to 85 GT fascia. The fascia went right on over the egg crate I had and I didn't bother to change it.

if your old coupe front bumper was PERFECT (color and paint dont matter, but i cant handle warps or tears) let me know if you want to sell cheap, id like to replace the one on my 40,000 mile 84 that got backed into, If i cant find one cheap enough im just going to put a gt bumper on it as well.

since you are a West Virginia guy------I first have to make sure the gt fascia will work etc but you can have it for whatever it costs me to ship it.

My wife was born in Charleston and later lived along route 60 in Glen Ferris by the Dam. We moved there to Putnam county and bought a house up on route 34 ridge -The town was called Red House. We lived there six years but after getting layed off three times I finally gave up and we moved back to Florida. I Love West Virginia, By God!

The wheel wells are going to be different also, try to grab them from the donor car. You might be able to get a way with the ones you have, but it might result in some cutting and possibly some empty spaces.
