Default Front Fender Extensions Help

I am looking for picture of how the fender extension are install. I went to put the one on that I got out of the back of a stripped GT and if I line it up flush with the bumper it will not reach all of the way back to the wheel well on the fender. I think I am missing a bracket but I am not sure.

Also I am looking for a good set if anyone has some for sale.

Thats weird it should just bolt on and need a little bit of adjustment to get it straight.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. If I line it up to be able to screw into the fenderwell it is about 1/2" short of the front bumper.

If it is for your 85/86 in your sig you have to get ones from an 85/86 the 87 and newer are different.
I have an 87 and the replacement fender I just got for it is from an 86 GT. There is a big difference in them.

The 91 was wrecked. I am putting the ground kit on my 86. I still have the fender from the 91 and they measure out the same. The only difference in them is the 3 holes for mounting the fender extensions.

Yes the fenders are the same (I been telling people that on here for a while) just drill new holes! Are you using the 91's nose too? If not your will find the ground effects will not line up very well with your 4 eye front end.

Yes 91 Nose is on it. Just finished the headlight conversion and first coat of primer on hood. Nose color is Burnt Orange I am hoping it will migrate to the rest of the car on its own.


Here it is.

Looks good so far, so who did the custom cut job on the grill? It is different from any I've seen so far thats for sure.
