To show I'm a good sport ( ;) ) I've got to give kudos on the spoilers. This is the cleanest bit of kit I've ever seen for our cars. That duck-tail spoiler is cool for its vintage only. This really suits the TC, and I can't wait to buy one. That is when I can afford one. (it always comes to that).

Mike, if I may, I'm curious. Why will these not fit an early bird, only 87-88?

oldraven,
I'd love to have you in! You only need $150 now, the rest is when the spoiler is done (about a month from today if I had to guess). Seriously, PM me or something.

Mikey,
The 83-86 decklid has a lot more "slope" to it. It might work, but it wasn't designed for it. I can set one on John's 84 TC's decklid once his or mine shows up to see though.

No need to Mike. I was just curious to the real differences.

Well, I'm not into spoilers at all...  but I have to give you props on taking the initiative to make this one and put all the time into finding someone to produce it.  I really hope you get it off the ground...  good luck!

ps:  Even though I don't like spoilers I have to say, compared to everything I've seen, it looks great!

Yep, I think 3 spoilers is all that could really be sold. After I've gotten over 100 people requesting one. Guess it's just too much money. If we don't fill out the remaining 2 orders by Monday morning, I'm calling ALL fiberglassing/bodykits/spoilers for these cars DEAD.

Well... if the glass' dies can we get urithane body kits insted?

And as an idea. what of someone ( I would but I'm broke) would * sponcer* these wings. Not buy one just pay for one, then after the making of new parts comes out, that said person would get a "freebie" of their choice or a discount on the next part? For example, I'd chip in for a whing if I had the coin, but I don't want one. I want a re-po Body kit to be made, or a FMS wing over this style

I say give it another week before declaring it dead. You have four and you only need two more (I have the coin for one but I never cared for spoilers :( ). I'm not sure I see an overall market for 45, though, especially at that price (though I agree that something like $250, while very reasonable IMHO, is entirely unrealistic since you're not running an industrialized operation, Chinese slave wages and all).

It's got until August 13th, then it's refund time.

If a $350 fiberglass wing can't sell 5 copies, a $1200 bodykit won't sell any. I'm *this* close to throwing in the towel.

If you have one to sell on E-Bay,it may sell pretty good.There are a lot of T-Bird owners who love their cars,but are not members here.I wish I could afford one,but that much money is hard to spend for a spoiler.With that much money,that's a Cobra intake,a set of wheels or tires,seats,etc.I wish it was half as much.Again,I wish you luck and hope it works out for you.

Hrm, try and get some buyers at tccoa or something...
I know theres people out there that would buy one, Just got to find them.
It's also limited to 87-88 cars... So that lowers some of the business around here.

UPDATE 08/08/07:

The mold is being made right NOW. The first three people that paid are guaranteed to have their spoilers. Thank you for your support, I will post pics of the process as I receive them.
