Product Description
Ford Mustang 2005-2007 Stainless Door Sill Trim, Brushed Finish, 2 Pieces (DS45351)
DS45351 is a two-piece stainless door sill set for the 2005-2007 Ford Mustang, listed for both the coupe and the convertible. The catalog note that stands out reads "Brushed Steel not Chrome." The plates are 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA.
About that finish note
The product note says brushed steel, not chrome. At the same time, the material field on this listing reads "polished." Those two don't agree, and we've flagged it for review. What the note does make clear is that this isn't a chrome-plated part; it's stainless steel. Look closely at the product photos to see the actual surface, and if the finish matters to your build, call us before ordering and we'll confirm it.
Fitment
One row: Ford Mustang, 2005-2007, 2-door, Coupe, Convertible. Three model years, both body styles. See the Fitment tab for the entry.
Two plates, two doors
The sill is the threshold at the bottom of the door opening. This set has two plates. The catalog doesn't list a width or length, so compare the photos with your sills, and call with any fit questions.
Pairs with the roof inserts
The same Mustang coupe and convertible have a cross-listed RI45351, a two-piece roof insert trim. If you want stainless in more than one place on the Mustang, it's the related listing on this sheet. Its details are on its own page.
Mounting
On the 2005-2007 Mustang, each plate mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing sill surface, with no drilling. QAA states it holds for a lifetime without damaging the car's surface.
Steel grade
Type 304 at 26 gauge is a thin, workable stainless sheet. Whatever the surface texture, the color is the steel itself rather than a plated coating.
Prep
Vacuum each sill and wash off grit. Rinse and degrease, taking off any dressing or protectant completely. Check that the paint is sound where the plates will sit. Let it all dry.
Fitting
Open a door and hold the plate on the sill with the liner on. Center it and mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner, align, and press firmly along the plate's length, then once more after a minute. Repeat with the second plate, then compare the two with both doors open. The Installation tab has the full steps.
Cleaning a brushed surface
If your plates have a brushed texture, wipe in the direction of the grain with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid scouring pads and polishing compounds, which can change the look of the surface.
Checklist
Confirm a 2005-2007 Mustang coupe or convertible, look at the photos to see the finish, and inspect the sill paint.
Afterward
Give the Mustang's plates until the next day before stepping on them. Choose a mild, dry day, and on a convertible, keep the top up overnight if rain is possible.

Installation tips: Door Sill trim
- Unpack all 2 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.
