vintage aftermarket front spoiler?

Maybe Racer Walsh or JBA produced a front spoiler for the the 83-86s.  Does anyone have a pic, or maybe a line on where one is?

That must be nice, I'd probably go broke being that close to a relevant parts place.

I tried looking on-line but didn't find anything.  Maybe that's because they don't sell it now, or because my skilz are weak.

As best I know, Racer Walsh carried Kamei stuff for the t-birds. Dont know if that helps in your search.

MAS does not have a web site. I always found that funny that they have run ads in Hot Rod and other simlar mags all these years, yet never set up even a simpe web site with that same 1 page ad, plus maybe a few pictures.

If that's not it, it's close.  I seem to remember there not being fog light provisions, but hey, it's been a while.  Guess I'm going to have to dig through old stuff, see if I can find it.  Whoever it was, RW, JBA etc, they claimed improved aerodynamics and a higher top speed

Does anyone have a phone number or other contact info for MAS?  Couldn't find them in the current issue of HRM, although there are some nice solutions for erectile disfunction and how to "increase [one's] shag-appeal: scientifically!"

That is a Kamei ground effects kit. There is not provision for the cut out for the fog lights on the turbo (they might have made one, but I don't have a turbo.), however, there was a nice little recess where I was able to mount some after market driving lights. (They are Catz MSR, made by FET.) I needed more light than what the headlights produced. Old sealed beams with blackouts over them produced about the same amount of light on the road as a flash light with batteries that were almost dead. I am not currently running the blackouts anymore, but I did do the H4 headlight conversion.

Just after posting the link to your cardomain, I found it in the permalink.  Thanks for the info.

Digging through some old mags I found more info.  Pacific Auto made a complete air dam and spoiler kit.  They don't appear to be in business now.    Also found the gull wing story and a Borla dyno test.

IIRC, way back in the 80s Ford offered two versions.  One with Fog light provisions and one without.

The one w/out fog lights might be the one I'm trying to find.  Don't suppose you have a pic?
