Product Description
Ford F-150 2004-2008 Regular Cab, 8' Bed, With Flares: Polished Stainless Molding Insert Kit (MI44311)
If you own a 2004 to 2008 Ford F-150 Regular Cab with the 8' bed and flares, MI44311 is the molding insert kit tagged for exactly that setup. It's ten strips of polished 304 stainless steel, 1.5 inches wide, laid over the moldings already on the truck with 3M tape.
That combination of tags is narrow, so here's how to be sure before you spend money.
Confirm the cab
The row says Regular Cab and tags it 2-door. Several molding insert kits shown on this sheet, MI44301, MI44303 and MI44305, are Super Cab or Crew Cab kits and won't be the answer for a Regular Cab.
Confirm the bed
The tag is 8' bed. Measure the bed floor from the front wall to the closed tailgate, or check the build paperwork. A shorter bed isn't covered by this row.
Confirm the flares
The tag is "w/ Flares." If your truck doesn't have them, this listing isn't the match. If you're unsure what counts, photograph a wheel opening and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with MI44311.
Confirm the year
2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 or 2008. MI44311 is cataloged for the 2004-2008 F-150.
What a molding insert does
A molding insert kit doesn't replace anything. Each strip lies on an existing body side molding and gives it a polished stainless face. That means the moldings on your truck need to be present, intact and similar to the ones in the photos. If a molding has been swapped, damaged or removed, sort that out before ordering, or call and describe what you have.
The kit
Ten strips at 1.5 inches wide, 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. Mounting is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface; no drilling. A question about fitting these to your F-150? Our line is 877-752-3811. The sheet doesn't say which strip belongs on which panel. Use the photos and label every liner before starting.
Install pointers
Inspect and repair the moldings first, since the strips can only be as straight and secure as what's underneath. Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe each molding. Dry-fit every strip with its liner on, mind the ends near the flares, and mark them with painter's tape. Peel and press firmly from end to end. A few strips, then check the line, then the rest. Temperature range and full steps are on the Installation tab.

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.
