has anybody installed fx4 wheel opening moldings ? any info would help thanks.

 

Yup, I did it on my XLT. No other wheel molding seemed to look right. Get ready to drill 72 holes in your fenders though(no kidding). Its a slow and meticulous process to get them on and fit right, or at least it was for me.
Sorry I don't have pics but it came out lookin great on the Arizona Beige.

 

thanks for the info. where did you get them?

I think I used about a 3/8" drill bit and then went bigger on holes that didn't quite line up.

PS: they don't come with the plastic christmas tree type push mounts. You should find them at any good hardware or automotive supply.

 

How did you figure out where to drill?? I also bought FX4 flares for my XLt. I've got several different ideas of how to transfer the hole locations. I can see several long hours of calculating and transfering the locations. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Why don't you just check out an FX4?

There should be one around somewhere, like a dealer. They won't mind you looking at them.

 

I put them on my stx last week. I drilled the lip of the fenders for the push in plastic fasteners that Ford uses with the molded splash guards. I couldnt bring my self to drill all the holes in the side of fenders. I used 3m acrylic plus molding tape on the sides. Two layers of the .060 in. tape on the 13 pads inside the molding provided the right thickness for minimum gap between molding and fender. Others on this forum had used the tape on these moldings. It seems to hold pretty good.
