    I just bought some of the rubber trim to fit ones at Walmart, laid my originals on top as a template, and cut them to match. Worked out well.

    The numbers and the orange/red paint on your differential made me wonder if you had a "pre-production" car.

    Your VIN, I think, would have started with a 600.

    Based on the spreadsheet it looks like his car would have been in the 300 range.

    To find out what # car you have and get the official certificate go to www.fordshowparts.com and click on the Certificate of Authenticity link, find the Marauder link and follow the directions.

    The vin doesn't tell you directly what number car you have. To find out what number your car it is out of 11,052(total 2003-2004 Marauders) built go to the above link and order your certificate.

    ^^^What Mr. Man said. Give Ford a call to get your certificate. Will be about $50 and you'll find out where your car is in the build sequence.

    Sometimes (depending on who answers the phone), they will give you the build number.

    Still cool to have the certificate.

    Curious as to what is a "pre-production" car?
