yup, afaik the differences are in the rear trunk area around the window. if you put the 87/88 hood on grab the inter cooler setup as well that should let you play a bit more.

oh yea no such thing as a stupid question.

i believe the fenders are different at the nose. the hood will work fine though. and like trashline said, get the intercooler and use it.
88tc (sold) but keeping an eye out.

There's very little sheet metal that's usable from '87/'88 to pre '87. The fenders are listed as being different. The hood is the only thing I'm certain will interchange.

I thought the only difference in fenders is the molding? I know the header panel is different as well.

is it possible to change over to a full 87/88 nose ? IE fenders, header panel, hood, bumper cover?

87/88 fenders are not the same as 86 and older the only body part that will interchange is the hood. When I bought the 88 parts car I had I bought it with the plan of putting the sheet metal from a 86 on it and then I would have a cheap car to beat around. The body lines don't line up and would look like crap.
