NLR code in Buck tag

[84GT Ragtop]

Just a thought here.....I did not check the tag on my SVO(86) yet, but I have no insulation above the fender splash guards. However on my Capri(85), NLR is on the tag, and I have what look like insulation blankets above the splash guards. Can take pics if needed.

Where exactly is this insulation viewed from? I'm thinking it's seen from the trunk and consists of stick-on insulation on the top of the rear wheel well arches or something, right? Or am I way off the reservation here?

I also have NLR on the last line of my buck tag, so could help verify if you guys let me know what to look for, and how.

I do not know what the "standard" '84+ sound insulation package consists of.

Fox,
Was there an option to order or deviate anything dealing with insulation on the 84+ cars ?

If not - then we may be back to ground '0' since we have seen cars with and without the NLR past 84+.
