    Default New to me 84 Capri RS T-Top

    Just got this the other day. Very clean and rust free car. I have located most of the parts for the front to return it back to its former glory.Name:  00606_DeXfgw5ZpX_1200x900.jpg

    I am not a bubble fan myself, but I did return my 84 RS back to bubble butt glory. My opinion is that if it was born with the bubble butt it should stay a bubble butt. Adding the ASC rear spoiler really does help improve the look IMHO.

    I have looked at keeping the bubble and going with the ASC spoiler, still undecided.

    Keep the bubble, anyone can have a flat hatch mustang look alike. But a Capri Bubble is unique.

    Well, as Trey so elaquantly stated " My opinion is that if it was born with the bubble butt it should stay a bubble butt. " guess I'll be keeping the bubble butt and adding the ASC spoiler.

    The asc wing finishes the look. It’s like the camero of the 70’s.
    You will have to massage it to fit. here’s an example of mine

    Love the bubble with ASC wing. They are a bit annoying without IMO, but with they look great.
