91 nose on the 88

I did this to my 87 about 6 yrs. ago and was very happy with it. Be sure to get the complete inner bumper, brackets from the donor car to support the bumper cover properly as I tried to cut corners at first. I have since reverted back to my 87 bumper as I really like that better. Different stripes for different types. But the swap is pretty much bolt on. Hope this helps, Dave.

chances are this won't be done anytime soon. i'm going for a mean look, and i mean MEAN. after looking at the new nose, it seems too elegant. i want a threatening looking car. it might happen in the future, especially since i'm sure the formula will have other thirdgen brothers and sisters eventually i'll be looking into building a 4.3L thirdgen, imagine that sucker sliding corners, i think that will be the car to get this. either that or if i can find a nose affordable enough maybe the formy will get one, who knows
