I would also like to see a full picture of the 87/88 from the rear. P.S. Did you try to get a picture of that new Bird driving by in the background? Either way, it was cool.

WOW! Judging by this feedback alone these will be the 2 biggest items ever! Just to clarify the details on the spoilers:
83-86 3-piece: It will be made of fiberglass, installs with 3M tape (will be included), and goes on the trunk lip so it extends out the back of the car. I can make it for the 87-88 by making new endcaps for the 87-88 1/4s. I like the suggestions but there is really nothing I can do, as I didn't actually design this spoiler. The 87-88 endcaps will more than likely look similar because of the area needed for the tape (which is f-in strong! The wing didn't even budge at 100+ mph!)
87-88 1-piece: This wing was handmade and is nothing like the Firebird wing. It follows the 87-88 rear perfectly. The first time I saw it I thought it was factory! The pedestals are molded in, though I have played around with the thought of a pedestal kit which would bring it higher. A minor shape change to the pedestals and downturns is all it would take to make this available for the 83-86.
I have no idea whether or not these will fit on Cougars. Eric send some of your guys up and I'll modify the suckers for Cougars too! Pricing isn't set yet, but WILL be less than $200 each including all mounting hardware and hopefully shipping. I'll also be able to offer them pre-primed and if you send in a paint chip, pre-painted as extra-cost options. Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!

BYW! If anybody HAS a Motorsports spoiler, I would like to make that too! Everytime I try to buy one it gets snatched by someone else! Any other TC body items? I'll remake it all! The hoodscoops are in the shop as well. Oh, whoever molded that SVO scoop into a TBird hood, call me and let's talk about parting with it...

Michael,
The one for the 87/88's looks just like the A&A wing on my 87, but I never could find anymore for my two 88'S. I love that look, it flows with the lines of the car, looks like it belongs there. How much, I need two.

The local JY here has a TC with 400,230 miles on it (wow!) and it has the Motorsport spoiler. They want $75 for it though [Image: frown.gif] I think it may be cracked in a few areas also.

Get a picture for me. Every jy claims the spoiler is a FMS one and they are usually a Firebird or Fiero wing. Great, I know who made the hood, now I want to buy it! On the A&A wing, does the bottom have a hole in the middle and indentations for a 3rd brake light? The bodyshop that's re-doing the wings says my wing was cobbled together.

I want a nascar style wing so bad, I'm going to make one up this summer.
I'd give my right nut to find a front air dam that looked like this: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/trombinoscar2/ford/tb870102.jpg
Anybody know where to get a air dam like in this picture? It came from Erebuni.net so I assume they existed at one time... http://www.erebuni.net/images/clearance/tbird264agr.jpg
