Product Description
Ford Mustang 1999-2004 Tapered Stainless Molding Insert Kit (MI39351)
Most molding insert kits list one width. MI39351 lists two: the strips taper from 1 inch down to 0.5 inches. That taper is the defining feature of this four-piece polished stainless kit for the 1999 through 2004 Ford Mustang, and it shapes how you check fit and how you install it.
Fitment
One row: Ford Mustang, 1999 to 2004, tagged 2-door with both coupe and convertible listed. The title gives the same years. If your Mustang is a coupe or a convertible from that span, it's the listed fit; your records confirm the year.
Reading the taper
The bullet says "1" - 0.5" tapered Width," while the width field is written the other way round, as "1-0.5 tapered." Both point to one wide end at 1 inch and one narrow end at 0.5 inches, but the catalog doesn't say which end of each strip faces forward. Don't guess. Compare the product photos with the moldings on your car, and look at whether your own moldings narrow toward the front or the rear. If you can't tell, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention MI39351.
A tapered strip also means you can't simply flip a piece end for end if it looks off. Get the direction right during the dry fit.
What it's made of and how it mounts
Polished 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, made in the USA. Mounting is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the strips go directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling. Read the Installation tab for how to prep the Mustang's moldings.
Install notes for tapered pieces
Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe each molding. Before peeling anything, lay the four strips on a towel and arrange them by the photos. Use a marker to write the position and an arrow for the wide end on each liner. Hold each strip in place with the liner on, check that the taper follows the molding, and set painter's tape at both ends. Then peel, place and press firmly from the wide end to the narrow end. A second person holding the far end during the dry fit makes it easier to see the taper against the molding. Full steps and the tape's temperature range are on the Installation tab.
Other Mustang parts on the sheet
Nine other parts share this coupe and convertible tag. GC39351 is a 1-piece gas door cover trim; LP39351 a 1-piece license plate bezel; ML39351 a 2-piece accent trim described as marker light surround rings; PP39351 a 2-piece pillar post set. TH39351 is a 2-piece rocker panel trim, on the rocker, installing below the door, at 0.75. WQ39351 is a 4-piece wheel well accent trim at 0.75. SGR39351 is a 7-piece set of "MUSTANG" rear bumper letter inserts at 1.75" height, though its sheet line also carries a "MAXIMA" logo decal note, which we've flagged; call before ordering it. WQ39352 and WS39351 are cross-listed by number only.
Mild soap and a soft cloth are all the cleaning the Mustang inserts call for.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 4 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.
