Mod vs. No Mod poll

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

Aaron @ Thunderbird Concepts has finally come out with a rear deck carpet piece! in the past some members had a custom shop make up 3 piece carpet sets, but now it is available to the rest of use.

I like the idea of a carpet on the "package shelf", but how, how, how, many, many, many Thunderbird logos do you need to display on your car? I'd just like it in plain black.

Just installed the tail light bezels, retro V8 emblems and chrome strips to protect the rear deck from the top. I'm pleased with all 3. Thunderbird Concepts.

Ron you know you never mix zebra stripes with leopard print. The zebra seat covers are on my Ranger.

I am NOT well known for my good taste......Pic looks like a T bird

The leopard would probably attack the zebra.

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

I finally got a chance to take some pics of the custom seat covers and the laser cut mats.

The leopard print thingie on the console is a dog toy I found at the dollar store. I use it to pad between my knee and the door panel; my knee was rubbing on the speaker cover and I was starting to get a callous. It also comes in handy when someone parks too close to me and I am worried I might tap the other car with my door. I put it between the edge of my door and the other car and get out.

I still need to get with the lady that made the seat covers and see about opening them up on the side for the air bags. She had never done a Thunderbird before and used my description over the phone and then made modifications when I got there to make them fit so well, she probably didn't know about the airbags and I didn't either.

Now all you need is some Zebra stripes on the outside

Going to apply the standard stainless protetion undr the top, "chrome" to the tailights and V8 emblems this week when they arrive. Then the hard top goes on for the winter. We drove the car to Va Beach today with the top down. Great day. The more I drive this car, the more I appreciate what it is.

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

my feelings 100% the only thing I added was the hardtop protection molding to prevent scratching

Re: Mod vs. No Mod pole

I thought the original was a beauty - or I would not have wanted to buy one. With that said, my TBird is now truly mine. She is the way I would have bought her! Ford did a great job - but to me, they did not do a magnificent job. I also wish her hardtop was retractable. I love my Baby, and she's mine, she turns heads, and she is definitely not for sale!

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

I ordered the wide, it's 3/4 inch and should cover the wear on my paint.

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

did you get wide or regular hard top trim .. jeez, I can't make up my mind and I don't think I want to go the full tub routine .. do I?

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

My Bird already had a few mod's when I purchased from Daktari. It had KKM cool air filter and exhaust tips, both of which I like. I have ordered some hardtop trim from TBC, should have it in a few days. I got it because I can see some wear on the paint caused from the hardtop, plus I think it looks kool.

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

At some point will likely add some mods. I can't think of any that couldn't be reverted back to original. Way down the road I don't eapect my PCR to be anything more than a "NICE OLD CAR"
