p/n?

These are nice and only came on the 2003 LS. Ford started "Decontenting" the LS after that. I guess even in 2004 they knew the LS was a short timer. Here are the part numbers.

RR-#5W4Z-5427008-A List $41
LR-#5W4Z-5427009-A List $41

You can get then for about $36 each at most on-line Ford parts places. Like here:

Now there is a little bit of modification. The clips holding on the plate are usually cut off and you just glue or use two-sided sticky tape to hold them on. Otherwise you have to take more parts off and it gets complicated.

I added these to my 2006 car. Basically, I snipped off the mounting clips that protrude from the bottom, grind down the stumps with a Dremel too, and attach the plate using double-sided mounting tape.

I'm not sure how these will work on the 00-02 cars, but I can't think there are many differences in the door jambs. It will look great when you're done! Please post pixxx.

They will. You may have to get slightly creative.

Oh yea, if you go through the five star ford ad on the right you can get'm for as low as $32.

another question where can i get the folding mirrors?

Posted by: JWerner2

Um, if fonsito is ordering them for his First Gen why would they not fit?

I assume you have to basically do the same as ToddG did or similar.
