Product Description
Ford Mustang 2005-2009 Lower Door Trim Kit, 3.5", 6 Pieces (TH45351)
TH45351 fits the Ford Mustang from 2005 to 2009, and the fitment tag covers both the coupe and the convertible: "2-door, Coupe, Convertible." It's a Lower Kit of six polished stainless steel pieces, 3.5" wide, that "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Coupe and convertible on one record
Both body styles share this kit. The record doesn't say whether the convertible uses all six pieces the same way the coupe does, or explain why a two-door car gets six pieces. If you have a convertible and want to be sure, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Where 3.5" lands
The bottom of each piece follows the door's lower edge, and the top sits three and a half inches up. Put a strip of painter's tape across one door at that height. It tells you exactly how much of the lower door the steel will cover and whether anything on your car is in the way.
The lower edge is the reference
Open the doors and look at the bottom edges. They need to be straight and free of chips or dents, since the trim lines up with them. Repair anything first.
Six pieces
There's no piece map in the data. Lay all six out, compare with the product photos, and label the liners.
Material
Each of the six 2005-2009 Mustang pieces starts as polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in the USA and presses onto the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Ford.
Prep
Wash the lower doors, rinse, and dry. Then wipe the 3.5" band with isopropyl alcohol. Wax or sealant must be gone before the tape goes down.
Install
Painter's tape holds each piece while you check the fit with the door closed. Peel a short length of liner at one end, set it flush with the bottom edge, and press along while the liner comes away. Firm pressure all along once every piece is placed.
After the install
Open each door all the way. On a two-door car the doors are the only place this trim lives, so watch the front and rear gaps closely. Wait a day before washing.
Linked Mustang accessories
The record links DH45351 door handle covers, HT45351 hood accent trim, TL45351 tail light bezels, and WQ45351 wheel well accent trim at 0.75".
Care and weather
Install in a garage or on a dry, mild day. Afterward, wash with mild soap and a soft mitt; no abrasives.
Ordering checklist
- Mustang, 2005-2009.
- Coupe or convertible.
- Room for a 3.5" band up from the bottom of each door.
- Clean, undamaged lower door edges.
A second person
Mustang doors are long; a helper holding the far end of each piece keeps it off the paint while you line up the near end.
What to send if unsure
Your year, coupe or convertible, and a photo of the lower door. That's enough for us to check the fit at 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 6 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
