LX XLR8R is correct, you'll have to remove the front urethane nose piece (easy enough) and on your vehicle (up until '86) mustangs had an actual steel bumper instead of the lighter weight fiberglass bumper on the '87+ mustangs so you'll probably take off 50 to 60 lbs (the bumper is pretty damn heavy!). All you have to do to take off the nose is to take out the bulbs/sockets from the corner lights in the bumper and pull out all the other sockets from the other lights as well as a bracket next to the hood latch and about 5 or 6 nuts on the inside of each fender on the flange.
