I'm in the same boat as you are.. I contacted Ford, and they can't find any in their listings in Canada. I hope that there is an aftermarket place. If I find out more I'll let you know..

Hey 86GT... My friend told me to call Texas mustang. He said he called and they could order one, but i hope its a GT...oh yeah I can get one from ford, but its $600.00- ouch! I need one from a junk yard some where in this hemisphere cause there is no front bumper worth that kind of money!

I was able to locate one from Ford of Canada today.. Its in Nova Scotia and for the LX only. But they are listed at $350cdn only.. too bad they don't have any cause that's a good price..

I got one from Ford last summer. If i remember correctly it was only around $300 (cdn$). It didn't seem to be any big deal to get. Sometimes the parts guys tell you they can't get them if they can't find the number. I have been able to get t-roof seals. eom decals and front nose cap cover from ford, all of which i had been told that ford didn't make them anymore. if you can find a parts guy that is willing to do a little digging you may have more luck. There are aftermarket nose caps available but the quality and fit is not quite as good. Keep looking, maybe try a body shop, they know how to source these kind of things.

kelso50, do you still have the part numbers, cause that could greatly help, for the nose and the t-tops seals.. I'm having a lot of trouble finding the numbers for that stuff.
