Message: YES!! LOL i remember that too You'd see the stainless steel door edge guards all dinged up! No you KNOW how many doors that inconsiderate BAST@$# dinged up as there is no way a SINGLE ding would happen to a door edge guard if you never bumped the door into anything! You know I was at the ALL FORD nationals last year looking for anything for my 67 Bird or Mark III. One vendor had a set of NOS door edge guards for a 67 2 door bird. He smiled whenI asked if he had anything. "OH i have a set of NOS SS door edge guards with screws and package" He even used the word "sharp" YUK!!! anyway I toyed with him and said "What ya want for them?" His reply was "Well you know these are VERY rare ....... I'd take $150 for the pair" I laughed in his face and said " You'd take $150? I wouldn't pay $15 for these, they ruin the look of the car"
