Chrome tail light trim

Has anyone installed these yet, I got a set from Americanmuscle but they did not fit right they seemed to be to tight around the tail light lens.You get the top in and then the bottom would pop back of and vice verse. Don't really know who made them but americanmuscle gave me a refund plus shipping charges and no hassle return. Would like to know who you bought from and if you had problems installing them ,seems like to me they should fit easy and stick right on, would really like to get another set they really made the back end of car look nicer. Thanks

I went with the brushed look. They are aluminum vice plastic and fit perfectly. Here is the site I used:

Got a call today from AmericanMuscle that they had a bad batch of tail light trim inserts so I am going to be trying another set from them.

I bought the black ones from Moss Mustang. I have purchased quite a few parts from them for my GT/CS and have only had one issue which was not their fault and K&N took care of getting me a new bracket for the Filter Charger cold air intake to me, because Ford had changed the design of the valve covers from 2006 to 2007.
I highly recommend Moss Mustang for any thing you need for your GT/CS. They have provided me with excellent customer service and quick delivery on all that I have ordered.

I got a set from American Muscle and they fit for a day and then popped off in one area, they looked awesome on there too. Wonder if they would send me a different pair in exchange even if they have been on the car. Ticked me off they didn't stay put.

I bought some trim from a Ford dealer with an Ebay site for 15 or 20 bucks...it just wraps around the taillights and I haven't had any problem with them coming loose and I think they look great for the money....

Yes I did they had a bad batch they fit fine now and look great if you have any trouble with them just call them up at they will send you a new set. By now you should of got a good set.
If they are tight around the tail lights they will not fit right will keep popping off.I seen others on stangs like this that are sticking out on one corner or another and I am to picking to have them not fitting right.

I have a set of the black ones. it required a little bit of "help" froma heat gun to get them to fit the way I liked, but they worked out quite well in the end.

American Muscle - on car for year and a half so far

I bought these from American Muscle last Spring. They were on the car all last summer and through the winter with no problems at all. Fit was perfect.
