what parts do I need to change front nose to 96+ style?

...and the little struts to hold up the hood.....the 94 ones will go on there, but they don't hold the hood up that well....don't ask how I figured that out...

I have a '97 hood on my '95 and I used my original hood struts with no problems. Maybe yours were just worn out. (?)

Wow, that couger looks nice with the Birdy front. Never seen that before.

ditto.. it looks almost reminiscent of teh fox cougars.. all pointy and stuff. with that flat back window... i liek it.. especially since its silver. and, IMO.. i like teh 94-95 style front end over all of tehm.. but i would like to have the 96+ hood/headloghts..

I have the hood slider release if you want it.

Hmmmm. Strange. I remember that they were listed as different part numbers when I looked, so I just figured that the 96-7 must have been stiffer, since my hood fell on the back of my head with my 94's. It's right on the edge of working, sometimes it holds it up, sometimes it tries to kill me. LOL

Maybe mine are just worn out like you said. Great....new item on my to do list.

Thanks for the comments DV and sin.
