the chrome on the front and back of the PJ edition mustangs, going around the grill and taillights. i cant find it in any online shops, does anyone know where i could get these? are they even available?


thanks

 

as far as i know they are not available for purchase. some guys on here have picked up some peel and stick chrome trim from the local auto store and the end result looks almost the same

 

any of you guys have something like this done? can you post pics?

 

I did the front, with cheap chrome door trim I got from PepBoys. Here are a couple pics. I don't have any real closeups though.

 

I did pretty much exactly what Jayguy did. It looks like you can get some of the pieces for the rear end, like the license plate bracket and whatnot, but I've never seen the chrome out there and can't imagine how you'd do it outside of really pricey custom work.

Here's the results:

 

 

so pepboys it is then, thanks for the feedback guys

 

Hey, sorry to interupt - what are those wheels? They look great!

 

installed it during my lunch break, i bought 3/8 inch i think, do you guys remember what size yours was, the corners were a ***** to fit on too, will post pics soon

 

I can imagine, I put mine on with the grill off for that reason (also I had to mess with my fog lights anyway, so I had a reason). Can't wait to see what you came up with. What brand did you use? I'd consider replacing mine with one slightly bigger if I found it.

 

 

i just used the brute force method, i like it fine enough now, i took it through a car wash to see if it would stay on fine, it did, i think i'll be increasing the size eventually, its all good since its not permanent

 

I too used the door molding. Couple secrets, leave it in the sun before installing (softens it up) and just be careful making the turns in the corners, can be hard to curve. I did with grille on the car, some people take it off. I also went the extra mile and matched up with the trim on the hood.

Sorry for being dense, but can someone be a bit more specific about the type of molding you used, size, and how you installed it?

It just pushes on.

 

Just pushes on... the grill edge? Thanks John, appreciate it!

 

Yeah, it really is that simple. Here's a pic I just took of a scrap piece stuck to a drivers license and credit card.

 

Thanks again!!!!! One last question, what did you use to cut it so it was clean on the end?

 

No problem Al. I hope you like it. I ended up taking mine off, I just grew tired of it. But for $10 it was a cool short-term, easily reversible mod. Give it a shot.

 

Well if I had something as pretty as you have in front of my grill I would probably grow tired of the chrome too LOL
