Product Description
Ford F-150 2004-2008 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ44308, 4 Pieces, Not for Factory Plastic Flares
WQ44308 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2004-2008 Ford F-150 pickup, 2-door and 4-door. The listing describes it as having 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging, and says it does not fit trucks fitted with factory plastic flares.
The flare exclusion
This is the main fitment check. If your F-150 has plastic flares on the wheel openings as fitted from the factory, this set isn't listed for it. The record doesn't describe the flares further, so if you're unsure, compare your truck with the photos or call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Cabs
The fitment covers 2-door and 4-door pickups, 2004-2008, with no cab named. The linked molding inserts and door sill trims in this group are cab-specific, so read each one's fitment.
Contents
Four polished stainless pieces with black rubber gasket edging; no width is listed. The photos show the look.
Material
The F-150 arch pieces are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, attached on top of the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't harm the truck.
F-150 group
Body molding insert kits are split by cab, bed and flares, all at 1.5": MI44308 (Regular Cab, 6.5' bed, no flares), MI44309 (Regular Cab, 8' bed, no flares), MI44310 and MI44311 (Regular Cab with flares), MI44301 and MI44303 (Super Cab with flares), MI44313 (Super Cab, 8' bed, with flares) and MI44305, MI44306 and MI44316 (Crew Cab). Door sill trims DS44302 (Super Cab) and DS44316 (Crew Cab), a gas door cover and a mirror cover set are also linked. Pick inserts by your exact cab, bed and flares.
Truck prep
Big arches, so use a step and work section by section. Wash each opening, rinse it, dry it and give the lip time to empty. Look for chips, old adhesive and wax along the band and clear them. Wax-and-grease remover across the band; isopropyl alcohol just before each piece.
Fitting
Dry-fit with the liner on and painter's tape at the ends. Check the gasket along the opening from the side and from below. Start at the lower front end and work up and over, peeling and pressing in short lengths. Do the next opening after that.
Arrival and care
Check that all four F-150 pieces arrived. After fitting, give the tape a day before washing, then use mild soap and a soft cloth, and keep pressure-washer spray off the gasket. Unsure about any step? Our phone line is open.
Ordering checks for the F-150
Look at your wheel openings first: no factory plastic flares should be fitted. Then confirm a model year from 2004 to 2008. If you are buying molding inserts, note your cab (Regular, Super or Crew), bed length and whether flares are fitted, and pick the MI kit that matches all three. Lay the four wheel well pieces out by corner from the photos before cleaning starts, and keep the liners on until each has been dry-fitted on the truck.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
