Member "sds"

He had a couple more left. Mine are NOS, but he has a used pair with NOS Covers and they are a bit cheaper...he also had a chrome set that was a bit more expensive. NOS Fogs and Covers and came with a Ford Carrying case.

There are also several on eBay right now.

Installed the Ventshades last night...but now I'm pretty sure I need new window channel stripping all the way around. :(

Also got the AMC Flag Emblem on my Spirit Grill!

That's a sweet Eagle. Those lights are going to look great.  Nothing like that stock look! I have a set on my 85 Mustang GT. Just keep an eye on the little Fox emblem. I have had many fall off. Now i need to find some factory rear flaps.

Thanks snow Eagle.

Do you think I should paint the mud flaps all black or do the Eagle part in white like they were originally? The big white lettering kinda seems obnoxious, but that would be stock. I could maybe even do the Eagle part in a dark brown to match my paint.

Brown won't show well against the black. Maybe a cream color if you don't want the bright white. Eggscelent score on the flaps BTW.

I think all black would look the best. 4 big white Eagle logos are a bit much. The later model flaps are all black with different sheen. I also like the amber turns for some reason while I am givin my 2 cents.  ;D
