Yep, I see. Thanks.

I have the carpet laying in. Let me get it in the right place and then see how the Bullnose corner trim goes in......

That is pretty bright David. 💡

I was trying to look at the swatches in Gary's post on my phone.

Samples were tiny for me.
But I liked it .

I have a black rubber mat.
Probably anything would be cheerier than that.

David - E5TZ 1013000 B8B is for a Ranger.

Jim - Here's a comparo of the Bullnose, left, to Bricknose corner trim. Looks like the "curtain" for a Bricknose should work fine, right? (And you can see the foam insulation I want to cover up.)

But the advertisement states for F150, F250, F350 and Bronco.

Hmmm, what would NumberDummy say? … "another clueless eBay seller!"

I don't see any issue Gary.
The bump on the bottom doesn't amount to much difference with the Brick trim, but I didn't have them both to compare.

Digging up all kinds of old threads today!

Troy, you painted both the dash and dash pad with the Dark Harbor Blue, correct?

I'm planning to paint my AC dash soon (it is currently a tan from 1986).

My god that interior is gorgeous!

I painted the Dash, kick panels, headliner trim, seat belt trim and lower door cards. The door panels were previously refinished by a prior owner, so I touched up some areas and it looked good enough to leave the rest alone. The plastic dash below the dash pad also required some little touch ups, and then I couldn't spot the repairs with the paint I used so I left the rest alone. I don't know when/if that dash area was resprayed by a PO. In any event, everything matches beautifully so I'm happy. Here's an updated photo without the blanket seat cover.

Just checked ACC versus rock auto - there’s over a 130 dollar difference for the same product

. Jeepers!

With Rock less expensive, right? That's frequently true where a manufacturer has an agreement to keep their prices high so the outlets can make a profit.

But when dealing with Rock Auto make SURE you are getting what you need as returns are painful. And check the product IMMEDIATELY when it comes in as there are been several instances of not getting the right ACC product of late, and you only have a limited time to return it. Rock is NOT easy to deal with.

And you know, RockAuto is making a profit, even at $130 less.

And really all they do is take the order, because they're drop shipping from the factory anyhow.

I remember reading about that on this site, which makes me nervous to by product from them, but at half the price it seems worth the risk.

It is worth it. Just make sure you are ordering the right thing and check it when it comes in to be sure it is what you ordered.

I guess I'm going to be stuck paying full retail...ugh. RockAuto doesn't list the #7879 color in the 1987-1996 floor pattern (which I need for the 5spd tunnel cover). Bugger.
