I have test fit the T Bird "IRS" aluminum cover , Mustang "IRS" cover and found they will work in unmodified condition. They do not interfere with factory sway bars as they are on the front side of the housing , and the spare tire is far enough away to not be an issue. I went with the latest offering from Ford which is a finned aluminum piece. Ford states it will not work with the internal ABS ring but I found I could remove the offending internal rib with a die grinder. I know i posted that elsewhere on another post. I had the opportunity to test the other two covers this weekend. I pulled both from a local wrecking yard for $20 a piece just to see. As a bonus the T Bird and Mustang have tabs on the casting that could allow hooks or lights to be bolted on plus both have drain plugs that the stamped steel cover doesn't. Maybe this information has already been "out there" , I just wanted to share.
