Pic's up for Number 137

Post by Rarecat »

Per my pledge, I've uploaded some pics of 137 in my Album....the rear spoiler has been a topic of significant discussion among my friends, most like it and think I should leave it on. The "purest" thinks it needs to come off.

What is your opinion?

The car looks great, but I would take off the spoiler, it looks out of place on the car.

Nice car Frank! I do not mind the looks of the spoiler as much as the second antenna on the passenger side. Regardless, the car really looks good. It is yours, so do as you please and enjoy... :celebrate:

Thanks for the feedback, I'm concerned about finding a replacement trunk lid, is this essentially an 85 Mustang Coupe lid?

Very Nice :love:
looks very clean and should be great fun driving this summer ENJOY!

Did notice that it has a 5bar grill and not the 3 bar.

And have you thought about getting a extra set of Hood grills and paint them black. May help showcase the hood scoop which I really like.

Nice car, not a fan of the wing. It is your car and if you like that is all that matters.

A previous owner put a rear spoiler on my car as well. Thus, I figure that I am in as good a position as anyone to say that both yours and mine need to go.

Remove the wing at a high quality body shop, have them fill in the holes, prep & repaint. Lose the grille & get the correct 4 bar one and you'll have a fabulous example.

I think the wing would look better if the car had tailight covers. But I always have like the asc wings. You should consider swapping out the wing for the ascMcLaren one:

Got the correct grill and hood on the way, so those will be addressed. As for the trunk, I'd prefer to get a replacement lid rather than fill the holes. Which trunk lids would work?

Thanks again for all the discussion and opinions

Not positive on any, so fearfull of making suggestions, but...... the only real possibility would be the 1984-1993 Mustang 2-Door Coupe's trunk lid.

I have access to a crashed 87 or 88 ASC Convertible parts car at a local junk yard, I can try to find out if the trunk lid is still available and I'll get a price too. Let me know if you want me to look into it.
