It was exactly the part I had been looking for. It would have been really nice if it had been the correct color – but that’s OK.

Hey Powersports, I just wanted to let you know that I have received the California Custom Front Fascia bumper and I wanted to send you some pictures of what my car looks like.

Center Console panel and Transmission shift knob

2004 Thunderbird OEM Shift Indicator with Select Shift Feature in Light Sand

Powersport Thunderbird Specialist did a great job finding two pristine interior parts for my 2005 Thunderbird in short order. The center console panel and transmission shift knob were the exact match that I needed.  They were also most helpful in helping me work thru the process to get the right ones for a 20 year old car. The interior of my T-Bird now looks like new again. I will most certainly go back to them for any future needs.  Temple C

White Wide Wall Tires

2002 to 2005 Thunderbird White Wide Wall Tires

3/19/24 “My wife absolutely loves her 2002 Thunderbird (Inspiration Yellow with the full-accent interior).  The tires needed replaced not due to wear but, rather, because they had aged out and could no longer be considered safe.  Our local tire shop tried and tried to find the OEM size of 235/50R17 in a wide whitewall style but had no luck.  We also tried online searches but to no avail.  All we could come up with was 235/55R17 rather than the stock size.  Just as we were ready to give up on the whitewall idea, Thunderbird Specialties came to the rescue by offering a 2” whitewall in the factory-correct 235/50R17 size.  Not only are the tires the proper size, but they are American-made .  This is yet another example of how Thunderbird Specialties has helped us properly maintain this special car.”

Continental Kit

Classic Continental Kit for 2002 to 2005 Thunderbird

Everyone tells me that the Continental Kit looks like it should have been there from the beginning. I’ve heard that the car is a “head-turner” many times. I was worried and thought that it might look really silly. But boy, it looks great! My installer told me that the brackets are very solid. It’s a quality job.

02-05 Thunderbird OEM compact spare tire replacement

“Just wanted to let you know that I recently purchased a new spare from you and had installed two weeks ago.  When they showed me the old tire, which had never been on the ground,

There was a gray chalky powder inside the tire and you could rub it off with your fingers!  The dealer indicated this was due to
The tire breaking down with age.  Interesting because it has always been stored in a garage, except for car shows.  Thank you for reminding us of this potential disaster.

And I respect even more that you take the time to respond and provide thoughtful answers. That is actually very rare in these changing times of the new world reality you described. It is far more common to receive a computer response, an unhelpful restatement of the problem, or find a URL that doesn’t work. Truly impressed that you personally respond.”

New FEM for 2004 Thunderbird

2002 to 2005 Thunderbird FEM Module

Philip

You saved the day. The instrument cluster lights on my wife’s 2004 T Bird went out unexpectedly. We are the original owners and the car has less than 10,000 miles on the odometer. We had the local Ford dealer diagnose the problem and they reported it was the FEM.  The problem was that Ford no longer supplied that part. The Ford dealer then conducted a nationwide search and there were none available. We were stuck.

Fortunately, you had made arrangements for a special order of FEMs to be manufactured. We received our new FEM the other day and had it installed. I am pleased to report that the instrument cluster lights work perfectly now and all is well.

This would not have been possible without the special order you arranged with Ford. Thank you for everything. We had no where else to turn and, as I said, you saved the day.

Van  T. – Poway, California

Thanks for the FEM!

“A couple months ago I was ready to give up and sell my beloved, low miles, ‘02 Thunderbird.  The power steering and instrument cluster lights had suddenly stopped working, and my mechanic told me the fault was the Front Electronics Module – a part Ford had recently declared “obsolete.”
While my car remained drivable, the experience was seriously compromised, so I was excited to learn Thunderbird Specialties was working to have Ford manufacture this part.  I’m sure I was one of the first to place an order.
My new Front Electronics Module has now been installed and programmed at my local Ford dealer, and power steering and instrument lights are restored.  I could not be happier, and now I won’t be selling this great car anytime soon.”

Over the past several years, I have purchased many Retrobird items from Philip that have always been of exceptional quality and uniqueness. It is nice to do business with a person who is a true Thunderbird enthusiast, as well as being a responsive provider of custom accessories for the niche Retrobird market. He is helping keep the late model Tbird “alive”, which I sincerely appreciate. Thanks Philip!

2002 to 2005 Thunderbird Custom Aluminum Grille

I am very pleased with the California Custom aluminum grille. The fit and finish are top quality and it’s a big upgrade over the plastic factory one. The grille is made to order so it takes 30 days to arrive but it is absolutely worth it. I worried about shipping but it arrived by UPS with out a problem.

2004 Ford Thunderbird with Chrome Plated Door Handle Trim installed

After a year and a half of modifications on my ’04 Bird, using your top quality parts, accessories and advice, I now have the car I envisioned.  Many thanks and by the way, kudos on your new book on T-Birds.  I recently received my copy and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Great info and savings tips. All of your customers would benefit from this book.

I would like to single out two or three of the parts I’ve received for special praise.  The Borla Tuned Muffler System was of outstanding quality and fit.  In less than 30 minutes time, the exhausts were idling like two purring cats.  The next item is brand new …  A stunning pair of floor mats in Torch Red, no less!  They have the T-Bird emblems in the center and are of great quality and fit.  Bottoms are lined with slip proof rubber.

I am selfishly hoping you stay in business for a long long time.  I’m sure all your T-Bird customers feel the same way.  Again, thank you for your above and beyond help over the last 18 months.

2002 to 2005 Thunderbird Insider's secrets

I read your new book, ‘Insider’s Secrets of the 2002-2005 Thunderbird.’ As a shop, a bunch was obvious information. But then all of a sudden, bam! – you surprised me with something I didn’t know. I think the book is definitely a good tool for a TBird owner and is well written for that purpose. I’m glad I picked up a few thoughts as well.
