03 fx4 resto

03 fx4 expedition with 85k miles. tube steps and open hole above front license plate mount (between grille and bumper) is rusty. i know what to do with that.

however i have some trim issues. the plastic rocker panels on the bottom of the doors are discolored and have a "starburst" pattern i guess from the supports underneath in them. would like to replace unless the plastic can be refinished somehow?

the sill under the windows on the driver passenger sides has rubber/plastic coming loose, pealing, and turning green? possible to replace and/or recon?

and finally the plastic plastic cowel by windshield is loose/cracked.

im hopping all these plastic parts arent as expensive as i think they are. but the truck still has had zero maintenance or performance issues. scheduled maintenance only and drives great; its just that i dont want a 2003 truck driving around with all this crappy plastic falling apart.

i will not buy another car with so much plastic on it!

i do have a mustang and have done bumper/grille swaps etc. so im fairly capable. but id rather spend the money on my car; the truck is supposed to be a cheap 2nd snow/rain vehicle.

thanks !!
