Are the wheel well liners on my 87 bird the same as a mustang?
Thanks

if you have access to one give it a try, I was looking at one from an 86 cougar yesterday wondering if it would work for 87-88.

I can get them new from latemodel restoration. I thought I read they would work but I can't find it anywhere here.

The cougars and thunderbirds from any year should interchange because the fenders do. Not sure about the mustang though but that would be something to try.

I have never found a discernible difference between 1983-88 Cougar/T-Bird inner fender liners. They should be all the same.
Have no clue if a Mustang one works though, never had an opportunity to try.

Speaking of wheel liners, I took mine off when I put my clip back on....big mistake. Mud/dirt everywhere, and the weight savings isn't worth it at all.

the wifes KharmannGhia has none , amazing there is no rust.
stuff just slings liberally up on the headlamps.

i agree with eric, there are no reasons to not use the liner on 83-86 on 87-88.
I believe the 80-82 are the same as well.

Did anyone else find a small bag of insulation stapled to the top of their fender liners? I thought it was hilarious, is that supposed to actually do something?

Sound deadener. I guess it makes it quieter. All T-birds/Cougars have it.
