paint the grill black. Really lightly though. I really like the "black chrome" look.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Thanks guys! I don't know if I've mentioned it on here before but I've had it since 1990, so it's been along time comming. The headlight covers come off at night, although they do look really cool at night. But they block too much light to see with them on, I'm planning on putting driving lights on it but it'd still be illegal to run them at night. I keep thinking about painting the grill but I kinda like the chrome. It breaks things up a little. And yeah, the rear does sag a little. I have the correct Ford Motorsport lowering springs for the T-Bird on it but that's what I got. I kinda like it though, it sits like my Dad's 66 Comet Cyclone Gt. I've posted pics of it before.

What did that spoiler come off of? Looks like it fits good. Been trying some on my car but I cant find one that seems to fit right.

The spoiler came from summit racing, it's a universal spoiler from A&A, they offered two sizes so you had to measure the width of your car and order the one closest to your measurement. This one also has the third brake light in it. I don't know if you can still get it or not, I think I've had it since 91. At the time I liked the ones on the 90 Honda Prelude but I never checked to see if it would work because I found this one. At that time there were guys using Pontiac Fierieo Gt spoilers, but they were too big for my taste.

I really like your T-bird (I like tue-tone ones go figure ;)) but those chrome wheel arches are killing it for me. Otherwise it's a great looking T-bird :D

Not everyone likes those. I just think it goes well with the chrome strip in the molding. That's also something I did quite a few years ago, so for me it wouldn't look right without it.
