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?
no but there is a racer walsh about 15 min from my house
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.
i remember a place called mas in the back of hot rod and such that say they have them. i've never found them online.
Thanks, I'll take a look.
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.

Thanks Martin, we may have a winner (google key word search "thunderbird + kamei + spoiler"):

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?
