Looking into a few Crown Vics which unfortunately have these gaudy chrome fender treatments. The dealer says they are "riveted" on. I have a hard time believing these are actually rivited thru the sheet metal. Are these clamped from the back? How do are these typically installed? If one were to remove these, what "suprises" would one find underneath?

Thanks for the help.

 

god that chrome trim looks awful, no wonder you want to remove them, i would too, it looks like shit with those on it

 

call brandon ford and see if you can talk to one of the tech in the body shop, thats the only way to truthfully found out, but i but they are riveted to the fender

 

did you ask on CVN? im sure some one there knows how. On the 79-91 the chrome fender trim is screwed onto the underside of the fender well, as for the newer ones i dont know my 97 just has the stamped fender lip.

 

Trying to get in there now, but their site is running super slow tonight. Hoping to get some answers soon as I think I want to bid on this car IF I can remove these without leaving holes in the durn sheetmetal.

 

Yeah CVN is haveing one of there daily shut downs, try asking on Crownvic.us, it is not as big of a site but it never goes down and that is where a lot of the most knowledgeable are.

 

could just be on there with 3M tape, thats how my old fender flares was on my Ford Ranger.

 

how about scuffing them and painting them to match the rest of the car?

 

Where's the spot light?
