thats looks custom, actualyl kinda almost looks like its a sho spoiler with some fiberglass but I could be wrong

 

[St Louis SHO]

almost looks like a gta spoiler without the wraparounds.

thats what I thought initially, but they were higher up on those car they didn't sit so low. So unless they cut a foxbody wing up a little, then i don't think it is.

it looks like a foxbody one that someone has cut down some.
my first SHO,an 89 had a foxbody spoiler adapted to it.
i think Kelvin has a picture of it on his computer.i don't know what happend to mine.

Have no clue which type of wing that is; however it does look perfect on that beautiful black SHO.

Looks like a cross between a Fox-Body Saleen (is that which one im thinking of?) wing and an 03-04 Terminator wing... Its custom i bet

Its my car, I took the pictures. It looks like it belongs on something, I just cant figure it out. Its kinda growing on me.

Where did you acquire the spoiler from

Jay, when Jay owned that car he had posted pics of it and in that thread he answered that question - IIRC. I don't think that thread is still here after the Forum crashed. You could always ask him directly.

Hava good weekend, man

Sorry, I don't check the tech forums anymore....


I acquired that spoiler from RickieFrat (does he still hang out at SHOforum?) about 4 years back. Everybody I've talked to could not tell me where the spoiler came from, who made it, or anything of that sort. I will tell you, it is one heavy piece of fiberglass, though. As I recall, there were no manufacturing numbers or stamps on the underside of the spoiler.

I did not do any custom filler work, no cutting, no re-working of any kind to fit it on the deck. Even the curve of the lower edge mated up with the curve of the trunk-lid. It was like it was made for the GenI Taurus. It must have been an early-production piece, possibly a prototype? Nobody has seen one like it since.
The mounting bolts were broken off, and it had a few spider-cracks in the surface. Unfortunately, I cannot remember how in the world we attached it to the deck. I suffer from CRS....


That spoiler, along with the few other body-tricks, really set that car apart from other GenI's. I just wish Photobucket wasn't blocked here, as I can't see the pics.

Here's a gratuitous shot from when I was selling the car, sans Police grille:

Holy wheel-gap!

Thanks for chiming in, Jay. Boy, I'll bet Jay'll be loving that A/C-less car once Summer hits Florida!

I see the Photobucket pics just fine, and all of my pics are from Photobucket, and people see them just fine...?

 

[SHO92]

I think he meant photobucket is blocked at his work.

I'm not a spoiler guy at all, but I do like that one!

BINGO! Trying to d/l these pics at home would be a nightmare with dial-up too
