Thanks for documenting this. The one I may try is the '93 - '97 VW Jetta - same donor as the front bumper several of us use. I'm thinking it will work well with the attachment points on the Jetta bumper as well as allow use of the little corner pans that attach to the lip spoiler.

We'll see - all just conjecture at this point.

My rear liners are both in good condition and didn't need replacement. I can only speak for the fitment of the 95 Mustang liners up front.

[quote="merkurmaniac"]On the fender liners, I DO think that they must make a difference sound wise. noise. ..........

I have no fender liners, and my car is loud on the highway. I have a really quiet exhaust too. I will be trying the fender liners.

The stock fender liners have some padding glued to the top of the arch - when i installed the Mustang liners I reinstalled it. To see pics of my installation checkout: http://merkursport.com/index.php?s=&sho ... t&p=332670

From Facebook:

Ron Hofmann Sr. Here's what I got that works. 1995 FORD MUSTANG 5.8L V8 fronts for the fronts. 2003 FORD FOCUS 2.0L L4 DOHC fronts for the rears.

As requested, some pics of my SN95 Mustang splash shields, as modified and installed in my right-front wheel well. The only two fasteners are the two screws you see using the factory screw locations. I had planned to use a zip-tie on the the spot behind the bumper wing (you can see the hole in pic #3), but I've found it stays in place just fine as-is.
