Stupid question that my aging brain can't recall the answer to.
1988...were they Aero bodied, or just the GT?

Just the GT.

ok, so the GT nose won't bolt up to the coupe will it?
Im looking at an 88 and I hate that nose the coupe has on it.

As I underdtand it, some minor modifications are required to swap the nose. Aesthetically, the nose would not match the lower body panels on the rest of the car.

The 1988 Formula and notchback (base model) did not use the aero nose. We used "inverted" bumperpad bumpers like the earlier base model. There was no SE "aero" model in 1988.

The GT was the only "aero" model in 1988.
