Make sure it's the right part number.

Mike Croke (FEP Capri guru) said:
Glad to hear things are progressing.

Mine is a 3127 (just looked under the car). My car is a '79 with a Maier hood and the '86 bubble hatch.

All '79-'86 Capris had the same front bumper covers so you want the 3127. Get the 3127.

The 3129 is for the '83-'86 Mustang only (not Capris) because those bumper covers were just different enough to require a slightly different air dam.

Mine is molded on. I cut the factory bumper cover 1"-2" below the beltline molding. I sanded the bumper cover and inner part of the air dam and applied flexible adhesive. Then I ran big ugly screws through both to hold everything together while the adhesive set. Once the adhesive was fully cured, I removed the screws and filled in the holes left behind. Also ran a bead of the adhesive along the top of the air dam to fill the gap between the air dam and the beltline molding. Then sanded everything until it looked like a single piece.

My Mom is finally accepting the idea of FrankenStang getting it's identity back. I showed her some pictures of some really nice Capri's. She's all for it now.

She used to give me the Evil Eye if I mentioned it.

How cool is it that I found a front passenger side light/molding piece (and tail lights! ) for my Capri on Ebay? The one I got at the jy had fire damage on it.
