    I like it. I was planning to do the same thing myself someday.

    Maybe add the chrome trim around the spoiler?

    i liked it i just wouldnt use it for mine becuase were taking all the trim off and welding up the holes but if i wanted to do something diffrent and if i were keeping my trim i would deff. keep it. ive never seen one before.

    the history of the trim

    I was the one that got it from RIO GRANDE DO SUL . BRAZIL!!
    After some tough communication between Portuguese/spanish/english it finally arrived in Toronto Canada. And it caught the attention of a member in San Fransisco so off it went again.
    I really think the trim looks killer, it makes a really unique look to the maverick the best part though is that i have a gift for you meanmaverick if you would like! I have an extra original clip for your trim.

    I like it. Everytime I see that trim piece, it reminds me of some other Ford trim piece - but I can't figure out what! Torino? Truck?
