is it like the spoilers on the turbo coupe thunderbird 87-88 ?


No 83-88 Tbird or Cougar had a spoiler from the factory.  TC or otherwise.

GST and Xenon sold body kits with matching spoilers available.  I have the same GST kit and spoiler shown on the red Cougar above.  The Xenon spoiler, if I remember, was a little closer to the turbo coupe spoiler in cougarman's pic.

DJ might as well have scored for Portland as to pull up for a 3 in that situation.

I'd be interested in seeing one of the Xenon spoilers on a fox cougar. I searched online and found several references for the body kits going up to 86, nothing for 87-88 though and no pics. I know what I had on my original cougar wasn't a GST spoiler, I just wonder if it could have been the Xenon.

I thought I'd update everyone. I decided to go with the new JSP spoiler. I could only find a couple of option still in production and the JSP was as close to the one I had on my first 88 cougar. I'll try to post a couple of pics in case someone has an interest in this spoiler in the future.

It's just slightly larger then what I had before but it still fits within the width of the trunk and I like having the center post for support. No significant modifications were required just shaving a little off the center post to get a proper fit with the contour of the deck lid.
I like it anyway. I no some don't like a spoiler on our cars but to me it's sports car and doesn't look the way I want it to without the spoiler.

Looks good. I used an A&A spoiler on mine. But I've had it for quite a few years now.

That looks really nice!  Thats the one I would have bought had it not had the center support being my cougar is an 86.  I ended up buying a truck cap spoiler on ebay, but it had too much arch and was too tall.  Just didnt look right.
