96 body kit on a 95 T-Bird-Help

[Jazzin85]

Okay I have seen 1996 body kits on 95's and I need new bumpers anyway does anyone know how you can do this and what parts you need to modify?

A shit load of parts! I dont think its worth it at all. You would have to change out the entire front header panel to accept the new lights and bumper. I REALLY dont think it is worth it at all.

Do you know approximatly how much it would cost if I just had some one do it for me instead of trying to worry about it?

It depends on where you get the parts from and how much the guy likes you thats doing the work. I saw a '96 header panel with headlights on ebay yesterday for about $50 which is REALLY good. but I dont think the body kit will look right on the '95 because the '96 and '97 have side moulding on the doors and the stock bumpers sorta tie into that look. Unless you have found a kit that replaces the stock moulding on the 96-97 with the body kit I dont think the bumpers will flow at all. It will look like a really cheap import with the sides and rear stock with a huge very different front bumper. I STRONGLY recomend against it.

What about the rear bumper does that fit or do you have to do mods to that too, and do you know if the 95 body kit is an acctual bumper replacement or just a bolt on to the exesting bumper? Thanks for your help.

I believe the rear bumpers are the same but Im only saying that because I havent heard anything to the contrary.

For the '95 kit... it all depends on what kit you get and who makes it. Im sure there are a lot of really cheap ones out there that just stick on but I know I have seen some that replace the whole thing.
