Auto Custom Carpets made these for me. They were the only ones I could find who licensed the feathered bird logo:
I had looked into Lloyd mats, but they only use the 2002-2005 script Thunderbird logo. This would have been okay, but they can't put it on an '87 T-Bird mat (it won't fit and they're not licensed to put it on anything other than a 2002-2005 mat). Making matters worse, their 2002-2005 mat is WAY too wide for an '87 (I had them send me the outline schematic so I could measure it). So this was the only option. Nonetheless, they're quite nice. These use the Esshag material, in 1045A Maroon, with silver-thread logo. The Esshag material is EXTREMELY dense.

those look real nice
sorry to be nosey, but how much did those run you? Those are nice, and my birthday is coming up, i may through the hint out to the girlfriend. :)
Get ready for some sticker shock...
$247.71
That said, I went with the top-end Esshag material, which adds significantly to the cost. They have several other materials available which would lower it by quite a bit.
Nice mats!
What color are those? do they match the earlier red interiors or are they a better match for the 87-88 cars. I'm having a heck of a time matching the 85 red so far with anything from visors to carpet stuff. (It's darker) I need a nice set of mats for it though.
These are probably a better match for the earlier ones. Now that I've put them in the car I sort of wish I had gotten the lighter red. It's hard to tell color shades from a web photo. I might try washing them once or twice to see if they lighten a little.
Yup, I got the wrong color. :punchballs:
These are much more like the 83-86 Canyon Red, and are definitely too dark for Scarlet (which we of course call something else ;) ) I really want these to match, so it's been a very costly mistake. I ordered a set with the correct color, so these are now available for anyone who wants to make an offer (mods: if you want to move this to the marketplace, that's okay). My location is Brookhaven, PA, ZIP 19015.
I got the mats for the lighter red yesterday, and those are a MUCH better match for 87-88 scarlet than the first set. I'll be putting the maroon ones up for sale in the marketplace section in the near future.
