Which mouldings do you need, which side? The mouldings are Ford Dealer parts only, not available from the aftermarket sector.

There are 4 bodyside mouldings per side: front fender, front door, rear door, quarter panel. So, I assume you want 8 total, correct?

The sponsor of this forum should be able to get it for you. Start by clicking on the front and rear doors, then fenders and quarter panels to be able to find everything you need.

Your most likely going to have to find a body shop to get them painted if they are body color. The painted ones come raw black plastic. If you buy them yourself you can save some money that the body shop would mark up the parts.

I would be very carefull with AM moldings. From my experience (body shop) they fit like doo doo. Any ford dealer should be able to get hem for you, they aren't cheap but since yours aren't painted you will save some $ there. Have you thought about just removing them? If your paint is in good shape you should be able to take yours off and give it a good buff and not be able to tell, but if your your paint is starting to show wear or if it has had prior body work I would not advise that option.

Yes I saw the chrome ones, but they also list ones that say 'Primed', and those are the ones you want. Of course once you have them they will need to be painted the color you need them to be.

The original Silver Frost mouldings have been replaced by other mouldings that are paint to match.

MSRP: $74.12 // FTE Ford Dealer Parts Dept. sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM price: $53.36.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1L1Z-7820879-AAPTM (replaced F75Z-7820879-AAJ) .. Left Front Door Moulding.

MSRP: $74.12 // PARTSGUYED.COM price: $53.36.

1L1Z-7825556-AAPTM (replaced F75Z-7825556-AAJ) .. Right Rear Door Moulding.

The parts catalog does not list short front fender and quarter panel side mouldings for your application, just the four listed above.

Look at your Expedition, do you have these mouldings?

Sorry, I don't know if that can be done or not.

I did find some of the original Silver Frost mouldings, but I don't know if the sources that have them will sell them to you at Ed's discount price.

I'll list the Silver Frost mouldings that are available NOS (New Old Stock) and the sources that have them, if you're interested.
