Has anyone ever tried to remove the bird emblems from '87-'88 taillights ? I would really like to give it a shot, but I don't want to wreck a good set of taillights.
Ive done it with the 87-88 Cougar taillites (ie the reverse light section). Gently careful prying and lots of patience and they came out.
I've allways used scalpel. I think that 85/86 lights have the same bird emblem as 87/88, so if you are careful, it is good tool. Just be careful.
Those emblems are screwed in from behind- you will be left with 2 holes. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
87 lights will leave 2 holes.

Leave the Birds.
Oh, man. I was afraid they were going to be like stink on a monkey to get rid of. Curse those Ford designers ! Whoever was in charge of Thunderbird emblems in the Fox years went a little overboard. Meanwhile, in the Mustang department, you couldn't find a horse emblem anywhere. I guess I will just get out the satin black paintbrush and try to make them a little less noticeable.
