Product Description
MI44310 Stainless Molding Insert Kit: Ford F-150 Regular Cab With Flares, 6.5' Bed, 2004-2008
Compare MI44310 with MI44303 on this sheet and the deciding detail jumps out. Both are 10-piece, 1.5 inch stainless kits for a 2004-2008 F-150 with a 6.5' bed and flares. MI44303 is tagged Super Cab. MI44310 is tagged Regular Cab. So the cab is what you're confirming here.
The fitment row
Ford F-150, 2004 to 2008, 2-door, pickup truck, Regular Cab, 6.5' bed, "w/ Flares." All of those have to describe your truck. If your truck has no flares, or a different bed, this isn't the listed kit; Quality Automotive Trims can help you find the right one at 877-752-3811.
A word about flares
Flares change what sits around the wheel openings, and the catalog splits these kits on that tag. Look at your truck before ordering. If you can't tell whether yours counts as having flares, take a photo of a wheel opening and call with MI44310 ready.
Bed length check
The row is tagged 6.5' bed. If you're not sure of yours, a tape measure along the bed floor from the front wall to the closed tailgate gives you the answer, or look at the truck's build paperwork. A different length means a different listing.
Materials
The ten strips are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA, and listed at 1.5 inches wide. They're mounted with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, which means no drilling. F-150 owners can ring 877-752-3811 and quote MI44310, and we'll check the fitment row with you. The sheet doesn't assign a panel to each strip, so lay them out according to the photos.
Install
Plan a dry, mild day and check the Installation tab for the temperature range. Start by inspecting the moldings: fix any cracks or lifting ends and strip off old adhesive or wax. Then wash, dry and wipe each one with rubbing alcohol. Number the liners. Dry-fit each strip, keeping an eye on any end that lands near a flare, and set painter's tape at both ends. Peel, place, and press along the full length. Work a few strips at a time, checking the line from the front corner as you go.
Parts listed alongside
The sheet cross-lists twenty-nine parts. Shown with details: DS44302 and DS44316, 4-piece door sill sets for the Super Cab at 2.25-2.625 and the Crew Cab at 2.63; GC44308, a 1-piece gas door cover trim; MC44308, a 2-piece mirror cover set; and molding insert kits MI44301 (Super Cab, 5.5' bed, flares), MI44303 (Super Cab, 6.5' bed, flares) and MI44305 (Crew Cab, 6.5' bed, no flares, 12 pieces). The gas door and mirror parts are tagged for 2-door and 4-door pickups. Twenty-two others are listed by number only.
Keeping it polished
Polished stainless only needs mild soap and a soft cloth; steel wool and abrasive pads will scratch it. Keep the truck out of rain and away from its first wash for a while after the install. Any questions, call 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 10 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.
