Title: Who makes/made this front bumper cover?
Post by: M-train on August 22, 2015, 08:43:37 PM
I really like it.

As an alternative a 90's camero bumper cover might be fabbed to fit as those car had the front end of the body coming to a point kinda like the Thunderbirds 87, and 88.

That's an old Xenon Kit I'll bet!

I had an 87 Bird that had the same style.

Unfortunately, they aren't made anymore.  Finding one could also prove difficult.

I had one of those Xenon kits on my old '86 Cougar. Found another one in the junkyard a few years ago, too.

Here is the key. Find another popular car that has a big aftermarket support, and mod the front bumper.

Here is what I'm talking about.

This is my 90 Mazda B2200 truck. This was before Ford bought Mazda so it was a totally different truck than a Ranger.

Here is the same truck with an SVO Mustang hood scoop welded in, and a fabbed up 03 Ranger Edge front fascia.

So, you guys can help me think of something that has a general shape of a Thunderbird front, then maybe I can fab something up for us.

It don't matter if its too wide as it can be sectioned like the Edge Ranger in the pic above.

I've got a set of side skirts I could sell. I know it's not the bumper, but if you're interested shoot me a pm.
