That spolier looks like the Motorsport spoiler...but I thought it was for the pre-'87 Tbirds...:dunno:

As far as the GFX...I don't reconize them, anybody else?

That's the only pic. I'd love to see what the front valance looks like too. I forgot Raser Walsh carried a kit. But was their's just the Kamei kit?

That is a Spoilers Plus kit, they were out of New York and were the supplier of the Ford Motorsport kit.
I'll scan their catalog page and post it later tonight.

Spoilers Plus is long gone. It was a successful company started by Bill Kolb Jr. in New York in 1981. So successful in fact that he ended up selling it to business giant Masco Corporation in 1988. What they did with it after that........:dunno:

So there ya have it - Spoilers Plus has a good decade and a half on the ricers in terms of tastelessness. God, that front bumper cover is FUGLY!!! The rocker panel thingies are none too pretty either...

Well, I like the front and the wing. The side skirts don't really do it for me and I think it could use a new color. I jumpped the gun on that one.

Just a quick question.

That "spoilers plus" pic is a different kit. The spoiler looks the same but the side skirts and bumper pieces dont have the holes/scoops in them like the spoilers plus pics are showing. The original pic I showed has smooth pieces, no scoops.

You mean this scoop?
It's difficult to see at this angle but it's there; the front air dam does look to be different though.

Hmmm..nice call, I see the scoop now.
I'm not sure about the wing now either.
I wonder how a Saleen s281spoiler (94-98 stang) would fit. I should take the one of my bf's 98 cobra and see if it would fit at all.
