Swapped on a GT wheel - exchanged a few bits like the spoke trim, and will likely rewrap with yellow 12 o’clock marker. Easy install - would be helpful to have another set of hands to hold wheel while torquing. For those doing this in the future, after plugging battery back in and turning the car on, traction control malfunction error popped, but quickly reset itself after driving the car for 5-10 minutes.

88’ - had it since I was 16, which is funny to think back since I didn’t have it paid off till college when I decided that’s what Pell grants were for instead of food…

Sweet! I had an '87 GT convertible in college. It was stolen when I went to visit my girlfriend at a different school. Cops found it 2 days later stripped and up on blocks in downtown Hartford, CT. She was sent to the crusher after that.
thats a cool idea,... looks like the stock screw hole position for the lower screw too.
But the upper one requires screwing a new hole into the plastic fender liner, correct?
..... hmmm, that part might freak me out enough not to install the upper screw. Wonder if it would hold with only the lower one.
Did you order them through Kies?
... upside is that it also looks to be an easy quick removal (if for example, you didn't want them for a C&C)

Reason: no ID for Kies discount coupon found

yea, got them through Kies.
It uses the original Fender hole but yes, you need to screw in to the original fender liner, with a self tapper, for the other hole. It’s a tiny tiny hole but it’s needed to stop the liner from rotating
I can’t see myself removing them, they look clean and unnoticeable honestly and clearly there should have been some protection there from the factory as those sills take a beating
The most noticeable part is the rusty original torx head, I’ll have to swap that out for fresh ones
