    Dumb question.

    Will the hood/headlights/grill/fender from my 87 gts parts car fit on my 89 gt? Here's the pics of the grills that im unsure about :S (These aren't pics of my cars lol) Notice the grill on the 89 gt extends underneith the headlights, where the 87 gts grill goes just to the headlights. Are all the fixtures the same?

    The hood, headlights and fenders will fit. As far as the corner lights and grill goes, you're comparing postfacelift to prefacelift so not a direct swap.

    Lotta guys have swapped between pre and post facelift grills and corner lights. Just takes a bit of minor modification and fitting.

    If I remember correctly (i'll check later today...) there are three places where the grill snaps on, and you can screw it in, I was only able to screw in two spots, the sides. The middle was a bit off and I couldn't fit it in, but the grill stays on. The headlights, however I had to switch the motors and the motor arms from the gt to the gts headlights... the power connections were different, one was square the other was more round. The hood was fine to install, just had to align it so my left headlight wouldn't rub up against it, and the fender fit perfectly.
