yeh- ive taped them w/3M. but im still wondering what ford did about this originally. ive got an 89 dated parts book and fiche
and also talked to greens and my ford parts guy. i guess they
figured they didnt need them in the kit or by themselves.just
looking for an answer to a ? only i would be stupid enough to
ask.i wont lose any sleep over it , and its not as fun as pounding
on a 5 speed with the 5.0 revvin, right?--irv:D

You know, Irv, those might have been hand painted at the factory...which would explain why you can't find them in the kits.

Just a thought.

on a 2 or 3 mo old white XR7.just used the r 1/4 and door.

stripe on mine. would be just like ford to do that.anyone
with original stripes want to chime in[idont hear any

got an unopened one from greens. the header stripes
are part of the fender decals in this one. dont know what
happened in the old one, but i now have a complete kit to put
away. got the last factory fascia mldgs for the frt and rear too.
one dealer had one but was more expensive than greens.
more  to lay back that ill never use.would love to find a set
of black side mldgs. mine are good and not coming off but
you cant have too many. thanks for the help--irv:D
