Looks good. I did that as soon as I got mine last March. I think Ford should have doen that from the start.

how much was the roll of trim?

Did this too mine as well. I know there are alot of people that aren't fans of the chrome trim but if you look at the cars the S197 is suppose to resemble, they have plenty of chrome trim, windows, door handles, bumpers, grills, wheels, etc.

Iwas in the garage lookin at mine, and grill bottemfits very flush to the top of the bumper, is that trim fairly flat and thin on the bottem ? Does it raise the grill up some ? Is it hard to push in place ? Likewise on the sides it fits flush to the head light post. Please advise and thanks.

It is not very hard to push in place. My best advice on installing it is to use a hair dryer and get the strip warm. It makes it much easier to bend around the corners. The strip is so thin that it doesn'tmove the grill too much at all. The thicker part of my strip is what you see. Ittook mesome time to get it right, but just keep at it and you will be happy with the resuts. I was at a show on Saturday and got a ton of compliments on how "right" the trim looked.

I agree 100% with you. These cars need a little chrome (in select places) to really look like the late 60's rides.

I started on the left side and slowly moved my way down and across and up the other side. Don't worry about running out of trim if you mess up. You will get waaay more chrome than you will ever need when you buy a package. Have fun!! Post some pix when you get her done.

I see no reason why it shouldn't work on a Pony Package Grille. Just take your time. The results with a Pony Grille will be really "Old School."

I got a 10' roll of the door edge trim for about $7.

I had trouble getting it around the bend in the grille. I found that by flipping the tabs on the lights and releasing the grille, the chrome piece went on fairly simple. The whole install took less then 15 minutes. I wound up getting the flat fender trim for the top of the grill so that when you open the hood, it does not look incomplete. ironically, the flat fender trim was more expensive then the door edge trim.Here are some pictures with the hood open and closed.
