That can't be...this picture was on ebay before also, with many more pictures showing the extent of the damage after it was pulled off. Unless it didn't sell or the buyer is reselling (and kept the pictures saved), then its not the same car as the picture.

Nope. None. Nada. Zero. Never.

The closest thing to a "factory" spoiler is the rare Ford Motorsports (FMS) unit available over-the-counter at Ford dealers. 75% of so-called "FMS" spoilers, like the one that just sold on eBay, are fakes passed off as the real deal to people who don't know any better.

Thinking about it. I'm starting off with the 1-piece 87-88 rear spoiler. I actually JUST sent it to the fiberglasser yesterday...

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.
