He hasn't listed any in a while due to lack of interest I think.

The molding is simply your average automotive 1/2-round 1/4" wide peel-and-stick molding or edge guard. He provides the pieces pre-cut to the correct lengths (minor trimming on the outside piece may be required) and instructions and templates to pre-shape the molding prior to installation. My first go at pre-shaping it yesterday was unsuccessful as it decided overnight to overcome the masking tape holding it to the template and try and return to it's original straight shape. I then used a hair dryer to soften it considerably prior to shaping it and sticking it to the templates for several hours this morning. That seemed to do the trick as when I removed it from the templates, it retained it's shape and installed quite easily to the tailight lenses.

The vinyl panel installed just as easily as window film does...

I like the tail light molding! I got Chrome molding and love it! Gives it even more of a retro look!

Nice!

Here is my rear view, with the stainless steel tail light bezels. They look real good.

What's the "scoop" on the mud flaps?

I like the body color mud flap concept, it's got me thinking now.

Where'd you get them?

They're the Ford splash guard accessory for 05/06 Mustang and I had my body shop paint them. No holes to drill...remove 2 existing screws, position and reinstall screws. I used one of those right angle phillips screwdrivers...
