Chrome Trim For Windows?

[ahl395]

What trim? Where'd ya get it? How much? What was the install like?

I purchased it from AliExpress. Chinese retailer, they are the only ones that have it. The exact ones I bought I dont see anymore, but the links below are basically the same thing. Mine just didnt have those little triangle pieces shown in the picture.


Order process was sketchy. (Not always) but for some reason my order was audited or something, they required a photo of the credit card statement, card, and my ID to process my order. I didn't want to do it, but whats more important, my identity or my mustang? I think we all know the answer. :lol: All jokes aside though they basically have all that info anyway when you place the order so I went ahead with it. A month or two later my order arrived in perfect shape as promised. This was over a year ago now and my identity has not yet been stolen, lol.


Install wasn't hard. Definitely need two people though. Two sets of eyes to make sure everything is straight and lined up and somoene to hold one end of the trim while the other is pushed down into place. It uses 3M double sided mounting tape which is a pretty damn secure hold, its what most OEMs use to hold on trim pieces, and it has held my parking sensors on the front of my last car for 2 winters, 2 summers, and triple digit speeds. :cheers:

Also, a tip if you order. Download the app on your phone and check prices daily. The price of things there (at least mine) fluctuated by around $100 day to day, and then I believe there was a discount for ordering through the phone app, so that made it even cheaper.

FWIW mine also said stainless, but they aren't lol. It's plastic chrome. I laughed when I bought it that it said chrome and stainless steel in the same description.

This one could be different but I wouldn't count on it lol

I saw a picture of a black s550 with it, I hated it. I think it may look great on other colors though.

I definitely think I am in the minority though as I have seen almost exclusively hate for the Pony Pack on M6G. Its gotten me a few compliments in real life though as I mentioned. If you really want to see the ugliest of the S550 mustangs front ends look up one with the pony pack AND adaptive cruise control. You lose the bottom grill to the adaptive CC grill and that just looks dumb to me.

I think the metal DLO surrounds are quite tasteful, and are standard on Euro models, if I'm not mistaken. Also std on the 50th-LE. The grill treatment on the Pony Package? I'm not so sure about that--de gustibus non disputandum est.

Sweet dude! Next let's get some chrome fender vents too!

I really didn't think anyone liked that chrome window trim... im glad Ford decided not to put this on all models.
Looks tacky as shit

They look great on some colors, but their quality is pretty bad. Normally they don't align good with the body/doors.

Some european cars had problems with it because the chrome trim coming loose on the quarter window and water will go behind it. Wouldn't be that bad, but to fix it you have to switch out the whole quarterwindows since the chrome surroundings are glued to the windows

[MENTION=11981]Carzzi[/MENTION] Haha I had to look up that latin as I've never heard that one before. I like it though and would completely agree, to each his own. Just out of curiosity do people like the CS grille? Is it just the chrome people don't like? [MENTION=26661]NoVaGT[/MENTION] posted a picture of a black Aston to compare the window trim and it has to me what looks like a very similar grille to the Pony Pack. Just saying.... people seem to like aston martins in general ;)

[MENTION=16927]Hertz Rent a car[/MENTION] was it one of my pics on this site you saw? haha. I will say that I have been semi-blacking my car out and the Chrome has been the primary thing holding me back from going full murdered since I don't want to plasti-dip it and I know it would stick out like a sore thumb if I did murder it.

Anyways heres some pics of my black one with chrome trim along with a side by side of a black one without chrome trim. The last two pictures have my old wheels which are the OEM pony pack ones.

Not my cup of tea

I wouldn't have minded the chrome grill had the slats been more coarse and egg-cratey like the attached pic. The Pony Package is too fine-pitched and sideways balleen whale.

 

[Carzzi]

BTW, is the pony pack's grill made of metal or is it plastichrome?

 

[My_Coyote]

Jesus............google took me right there;

Looks fantastic. I just don't know how it would look on a Tripple Yellow.

 

[Cobo_pro]

Tacky

Agreed, think about what it will look like in a couple of years

 

[martin]

Looks great. Was not an option when buying. I would not risk an after market job
