Mine are dented and/or bent (by the brute at the body shop who tried to install it years ago). Hoping of for a complete, perfect set that just needs to be cleaned.

Still looking (and hoping) for an OEM set. I have the round corner pieces.
How bad are your originals? I pounded out lots of dents from mine and repolished them afterwards.
You can work out just about any damage on them provided they were not bent so far as to crease/tear the metal. Little hammer and dolly, maybe a little filing and sanding followed by a good polishing is all it takes.
I know I could probably straighten the OEM pieces, its just one more thing I didnt to have to do. They arent bent or seriously damaged. Just dented about every 1.5"-2" from the rubber mallet the shop gorilla used to 'install' them on hardened sealer. Youve given me the little push I needed to try and make them usable. They dont have to be perfect, just better looking than thet are now and Im sure I can do that.
For more incentive, just think of the $$$ you will save. Original trim like that is pricey. Even more costly to have someone else do the sprucing up.
I would expect fastback trim to be spendy, coupe trim not so much.
If you strike out finding some decent original trim, send yours to me.
Thank for the offer, Craig. You're a prince among men.
My local Mustang supplier apparently has a "decent" set for $125. I have not seen them but honestly cannot expect them to be dent free. But hey, I've been wrong before. PM me if you want to take the next step.
