Old muffler.

Had a new muffler installed.

Finally got both rear side makers in place screwed firmly to correct backing plates.

Next, install a waiting pair of correct rear fender liners.

A question for you.

The rear fascia in an earlier post has the cutout on the passenger
side for the exhaust tip.

Is that a stock fascia or was it altered for the tips?

I've not seen a stock 87/88 coupe fascia with dual exhaust
cutouts. I have an 87 coupe with a 4.9 and true duals. I haven't
altered the fascia yet.

Altered by former owner, probably after a previous one had put the $130 cash under the trunk liner.

Replaced 194 bulb in RF side marker. Front post portion was broken loose from the rest of the side marker. Repaired it using Plastic Cement on the plastic edges that fit together and hot melt glue on the back & around the post as a reinforcement.

Marker was broken when a former owner experienced slight front end damage.

Not only did the driver's side NOT fit, check out the passenger's side you sold me.

Time to email Tracy in Texas to see if he has the right side liner.

Got this on ebay.

A door roller arm spring compressor. Looks like this tool could also be used on those pesky parking brake return springs on the rear calipers of any stock Fiero brakes.

Got the driver's side on. Took longer due to nut frozen on mirror stud. Once the stud was out, a vise, Kroil and a couple of nuts got things freed up.
