    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    The ones in my car look the same size, I actually ended up with some chrome strips off some other Ford, never knew what car they fit but I have like 20 feet of it. It was in a NOS box, but I since lost it so I cant look up the number.


    Maybe he just doesn't know that they make them? :huh:

    I know I didn't know there were many pats available until I joined this forum (y)

    Chrome strip looks factory to me.


    Yes....lack of any lower rear quarter extensions as well.


    Looks like they have the front seats on the wrong side. Need to switch them back. Probably got goofed up when the new carpet was put in.

    Just at a glance that car looks like it was painted and put together pretty quick. Likely just to move it fast.

    I have the ldo seats in mine and the release lever is on the outside and the reclining lever is on the inside. Unless they took the seats off of the tracks, you can't put them on the wrong side because the brackets are different due to the cat hump in the floor on the passenger side front floor. That rear bumper sure doesn't fit very good. I wish them well.

    Nope... everyone was just pointing out it wasn't a 12k car. And why. :rofl:
    Lets be honest, if it had gone for that...with all the imperfections we can't except in our cars... we would of all been pissed. :D

    Sorry, I really didn't take it in a negative way, it was meant to be a little funny...........................as I do need a new pair of glasses. I looked at the car quickly when I saw it online and really didn't spend time looking for any defects...............................just made a WAG. Yes, you certainly had a nice looking Maverick...............and mine is a 20 footer, although it's been a race car for most its life, it is showing it's age...............for that mater of fact so am I........................................:Handshake
