Bought mine months ago but haven't put them on.

Waiting till spring to save them from 1 more winter.

Mine came with 90% of the clips needed still attached.

They're the same. Just a different color.

The V6 ones have a slightly textured finish, while the GTs are smooth plastic.

Saw an 06 GT in Vista Blue at the dealer tonight.

Man I can't wait to put mine on!

It's called a fork tool. You should be able to pick one up at Autozone. If you break the retainers, you can get new ones cheap. Lowes and Home Depot even carry them.

well i got em on....and theres actually 5 different kinds of rivets.... i just used a simple pair of needlenose pliers, but the first rivets(on the bottom) are about 1 1/4" and is just a plastic ribbed rivet. Theyre really hard to get out without damaging them( i broke 5 or 6). After that near the front, there is a smaller, more concealed place where a 1" ribbed rivet is almost hidden. After theres smaller 1/2" pop rivets with a seprate core you pull out to remove(found in the front wheel well), then after you get those off, you pull gently from the back (rear wheel wel) untill you get to the front, these rivets you are pulling out should be white and may stay in the moulding or in the body panel of the car, simply remove them with your pliers and install them as they were on the new moulding. Fianlly there is a big 2" ribbed rivet that you pull off as you did on the white rivets. To install your new mouldings, go to your local auto store (oreileys, advanced auto and such....) and reverse the operation. Pics soon.
