I dont have any pics but with the coupe front end on a GT just wouldnt look right. The GT side skirts are so much lower than the front of the Formula/Coupe.

I had a couple of threads with pics marked as favorites, but they seem to have disappeared into the archives.
What's the point of marking it if it's going to disappear without a trace, anyway?

Several people have done it, looks great.

Looks even better when you use a early year coupe nose with lower spoiler.

Either one is better than the GT nose.

The GT fascia wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have slop-jaw and massive under-bite.

Sometime between now and spring, I going to covert a early coupe nose onto my 88 GT, or add a one-off lower front spoiler to my GT nose to eliminate the factory uglyness.

IMO you have to have all the body panels. Not just the front or rear or just side skirts. It just doesn't look right to me.

A coupe/formula with a fastback looks great.
A gt with a coupe/formula nose looks like ass.


Has anybody tried putting a fastback on the old base style body?

Is the ground effects the only difference in those two?

That's my vote too! No ground affects, just the fastback and taillights.

I had the 84 'pad' nose on my 86 GT, thats my favorite. The GT 'aero' nose is the ugliest one to me. Also catches every stone anyone throws up at you. If you get any kind of a bump, like in a parking lot, your paint is messed up. With pad nose, you can even push someone with no problem.
