Not sure where to find them exactly but they look like the same ones that are on the 1979-82 cars.

Found the wing...

OH! FWIW...there's 2 passenger side taillights on eBay too....

I beleive those are 79-82 or 83 tail lights. Yes they will fit in 85-93 with some slight modifacations.The spoiler is all you need and a set of louvers. peace

The spoiler was used through 1983. I don't know if that helps, but.........

projectfiveo · Jan 16, 2010

so the spoiler should fit no problem? and with some mods the taillights will fit? what mods will it take? what do you think about that look on 89 gt? anyone done this or have pics of it?

projectfiveo · Jan 16, 2010

is this it?

yes. These are fiberglass pieces I believe, so they may need some tlc before installation. Mine had chipped corners. I'm not sure about a late-fox gt. the early tail lights and spoiler are much more angular than the bumper cover on the 87-93 GT. I do like the early pieces, but I'd have to see them on a later model.

If i remember correctly the holes for you to reach the bulb have to be widened or new ones have to be made. I can't exacly remember what has to be cut though.

FoxChasis · Jan 17, 2010

The spoiler was on Mustangs from '79 (Pace Car only that year) through early '84 and Capris from '80 through '82.

The taillights were on Mustangs from '79 through '82.

Not only will you have to drill holes in your taillight panel to accomodate different configuration for some mounting studs and sockets, you will also have modify the lamp circuits.

'79-'82 park/stop = two bulbs (one shared w/ turn)
'83-'93 park/stop = one bulb

'79-'82 turn = one bulb (shared w/ park/stop)
'83-'93 turn = one bulb

thanks for the info! would you all do it? i mean do you think it would look right on a newer fox?

Coast2CoaStang · Jan 17, 2010

I think the spoiler would look good with the horizontal indents filled.

that does look good. is that your car? i like what i see from the car infront of it also. got any pics of that car? and of course any other pics of this spoiler would be awesome if anyone else would like to share em!

Switching tail lights from 79-82 cars to 83-93 cars or vise-versa requires a lot of modification. A lot of metal on the tail panel needs to be cut, added, welded. It was a PITA. It would have been easier for me to change the whole tail panel.

This is an 81 notch and what I did to make it accept 83-93 tails. Didn't try and make it look all pretty because it's covered, but I got it right and they did fit. You need a tight seal, so they won't leak.

Try to get an entire hatch with that wing on it, or you'll have to contend with filling the mounting holes depending on what wing was originally on the car.

No, it's not my car. A member here found this pic for me when I was thinking about using this spoiler. I decided to keep my stock LX spoiler.

projectfiveo · Jan 19, 2010

damn i didnt realize it was going to be that difficult. i figured i would have to modify the wiring and tail housing, but didnt think i would have to cut on the car. ohh well it was a good idea. i was just wanting something different then lx and cheese grater tails, and of course cobra. thanks for the info though.
