Title: Just a quick question.
Post by: Redheadfoxx on September 21, 2006, 04:47:43 PM
Anyone know what spoiler this is? Also, who makes/made the lower body pieces? I t doesn't really look like a "body kit"

That spolier looks like the Motorsport spoiler...but I thought it was for the pre-'87 Tbirds...:dunno:

As far as the GFX...I don't reconize them, anybody else?

That's the only pic. I'd love to see what the front valance looks like too. I forgot Raser Walsh carried a kit. But was their's just the Kamei kit?

That is a Spoilers Plus kit, they were out of New York and were the supplier of the Ford Motorsport kit.
I'll scan their catalog page and post it later tonight.

Spoilers Plus is long gone. It was a successful company started by Bill Kolb Jr. in New York in 1981. So successful in fact that he ended up selling it to business giant Masco Corporation in 1988. What they did with it after that........:dunno:

So there ya have it - Spoilers Plus has a good decade and a half on the ricers in terms of tastelessness. God, that front bumper cover is FUGLY!!! The rocker panel thingies are none too pretty either...

I'd hit it too. With a dump truck...

Well, I like the front and the wing. The side skirts don't really do it for me and I think it could use a new color. I jumpped the gun on that one.

That "spoilers plus" pic is a different kit. The spoiler looks the same but the side skirts and bumper pieces dont have the holes/scoops in them like the spoilers plus pics are showing. The original pic I showed has smooth pieces, no scoops.

You mean this scoop?
It's difficult to see at this angle but it's there; the front air dam does look to be different though.

Hmmm..nice call, I see the scoop now.
I'm not sure about the wing now either.
I wonder how a Saleen s281spoiler (94-98 stang) would fit. I should take the one of my bf's 98 cobra and see if it would fit at all.

That would be cool. can you get pictures if you do?

Installed on this Sport model is the other front air dam that Spoilers Plus offered, along with their asymmetrical grill for the non-Turbo Coupe ‘87-’88 Thunderbirds.

Also notice the very nice subtle rear spoiler on the Turbo Coupe;  one of three rear spoilers that they offered for the Thunderbird.

I like that small rear wing. There's no where to find this stuff, Huh?

What are the wheels on that car. I kinda like um...
Title: Just a quick question.
Post by: Ifixyawata on September 24, 2006, 02:53:01 AM
Those are the BBS wheels.  Highly sought after among us T-bird/Cougar people.  I think Karl and Shawn are two people that have 'em.

Post by: 84 Fila on September 24, 2006, 02:56:03 AM
Don't ARE wheels look close to those too?
Title: Just a quick question.
Post by: Ifixyawata on September 24, 2006, 03:20:14 AM
ARE... BBS... basketweave... all the same style of wheel.  They're hawt.  Period.
Title: Just a quick question.
Post by: Tbird232ci on September 24, 2006, 07:48:46 AM
Karl has a few sets of the ARE wheels, which are similar to the BBS wheels, same style, but the center is more flat. I have the LSC SE wheels, which were made by BBS, and Speedline.
