Default Eleanor kit to fit my 1966 Mustang?

I have a 1966 coupe and i want it to look as much as the eleanor as it can. I understand the eleanor is a fastback but ill work with what i have. I found this eleanor body kit that includes the following:
-Hood
-Nose
-Headlamp buckets
-wheel flares
-side skirts
-side scoops
-tail panel
-quarter extensions
-deck lid
The website link is Classic Mustang Eleanor Fiberglass Body Kit

My question is will all this fit my 66? I want to convert my lights to look like the lights on the eleanor as well so i will be buying the lights to fit that rear panel.

It can be done, but all of the pieces will require reworking to use on a 66 so unless you are planning on cutting, trimming, shaping, and laying your own glass to make it work, it could be economically unfeasible.

Default I would go with this on a '65 - '66

I would use this E2 kit on a '65 - '66

I don't know about the quality of the kit, or this vendor -

Nothing in that kit will bolt right on you have to make everything fit.Short answer buy a 67/68 or give up on a old fad.

i also have the same problem, i have 65 fastback 2+2 and i want to make it look like real eleanor... so the best way would be to buy 67/68 body kit, but i am afraid if the hood width is good or hood hinges fit. Also, fitting front nose (upper/lower) requires a lot of work with fenders.. and the worst thing is that deck lid is absolutely different as i can notice from the pictures.. and i have no idea if it is possible to fit all the rest parts like wheel opening flares or side scoops.. so in your place i would go to the shop and measure this kit on the car... and than please write the comments
