Archived from groups: rec>autos>makers>ford>mustang (more info?)

Can someone tell me more about the tail light louvers for late 80's
early 90's?

I've seen them on 88 GT's. What do they mean? Are they an option or
were they only on specific year(s)?

Can I buy just the louvers or do I have to get the whole tail light
assembly?


Thanks

Byron

They were one of the GT - specific options on the 87 - 93's,
derisively called the cheese graters. A common upgrade /
customization is the replacement of these with the standard 'clean' LX
tail lights, so you could probably find someone here, or on eBay, or
on a parts for sale / parts wanted site who has a pair in their garage
that they'd sell.

The louvered tail lights were stock on the late Fox GT cars:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-GT-Tail-Lights-Taillights-...93-Blac

The louvers are part of the stock assembly, but you may be able
to find aftermarket units that may suit your purpose.

And they aren't louvers, it's actually painted onto the plastic lens.

I'd try auto salvage first. You can find some yards listed with
Hemmings (www.hemmings.com) which are all Mustang. Do a search for
your year model and the ads should pop up between ads for individual
cars (which was how I got an estimate for a Mustang I sold - I
compared mine to the ads... and it sold for exactly what I asked...
but you have to be careful of scammers making offers).

I have no idea if what you seek is in their catalogs, they are sorta
out of my 65's year group (except CJPony) but ....

Check out....

Moss Motors (www.mossmustang.com)
CJ Pony Parts (www.cjponyparts.com)
[CJPony has their own yard I believe]
Brothers Performance (www.brothersperformance.com)

There's a few on eBay but the nice ones are very expensive, probably
due to as Dwight observed you can't seem to buy them from the regular
resto places.
