My 03 XLT has grey trim but mine also has the trim around the wheel wells.

Yea, mine has the holes there, but as you can see from the picture, I don't have one.

I prefer it w/o them, but that's just me.

It was a nice day. Added LED tails, brush guards in the rear and fender flares. I have a brush guard for the front, and 3000k HID's for the fogs but just didn't get time today. The stang needed a starter too.

I think it contrasts really nicely with the white. The grille is also painted black.

No clearcoat was used on it. Krylon plastic spray paint, satin black (as opposed to the shiny black cap.)

My hitch, and a lot of the underbody frame is painted with Rust Olem spray paint. The muffler is painted with high temp black spray paint.

Hey I just noticed that you center caps are 2tone, where did you get them? Love the look.

Sweet looking tail lights there! LEDs always make a nice luxury look.

I think they're stock. At least how they came when we got it used. Maybe they come with that rim style?

It's kinnda annoying since the Expy is mostly black and white, and the center caps are gray. I need to paint them black

Which ones do you have?

It's raining right now, but I'll try checking tomorrow, or later tonight if it stops.

As a side note, something tells me that it's just a sticker or vinyl, since is a couple bubbles (could be rust underneath.) I'll try taking a close up picture so you can see.

Later on, I'll try contacting patriotdecals.com to see if they can make something.

may be a silly question but when you spray bombed your cladding did you pull it off the truck or just tape everything up? ive been wanting to do my eb tan trim black but im afraid of all the clips

 

[ELVATO]

I just taped everything up. Granted, I think I got some on the car, but it's in places most people wouldn't notice.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the EB trim have clear coat on it? I think you'd have to sand that off, and what not. For the mine, it was just the vinyl, which is why the Fusion stuck so well. For yours, you might want to take it to a paint dealer, or at the very least strip the trim.

i really dont like the tan. i would love the black on black. i was thinking of getting teh dent in the hatch fixed and seeing if they could spray the mouldings at the same time. i was going to wetsand the clear anyway.

can i still use teh fusion???

 

[ELVATO]

I'm not an expert

I would just ask the paint shop how much they would charge you to paint if for you.

I am not sure if it a sticker or not just know that they are for SSV Expeditions and I like the look.
