Has anyone used these? How's the fit and finish, do they sit pretty flush or do they stick out some cause of the adhesive on the back?

This is the best picture I have of mine. The adhesive is pretty thin and doesn't seem to make them stick out too much.

They fit pretty well. Not perfectly but pretty darn good. You'd have to be specifically looking for it to notice just how little it is off. I've had them for a little over 6 months now and they have held up pretty good. My driver's side has gotten one little chip in it, but that could be from anything.

Here are a couple before shots:

And from a distance, it looks OEM:

So these just stick on over the existing ones? Has anyone tried to paint the existing ones gloss black?

I got mine off of eBay too. I think they were only maybe $30 after shipping. They look amazing on the truck and Ford needs to open their eyes and make these OEM. I have a black truck so between the paint and the tint, these match perfectly.

I had to take off my vent visors to install them. I stuffed the bottom part into the rubber seal where the window goes into the door panel. This was a little bit of a challenge. I plan on getting new vent visors to cover up the top part cause it looks a little out of place and there is a little bit of a lip.
