The Pony/Tri-Bar comes off by prying carefully at the edges, working your way around the perimeter. This emblem is held on by studs on the back of the emblem and barrel nuts that pop into holes in the fender. Replace the barrel nuts when installing a new emblem else its possible an old barrel nut wont hold the emblem tight. When buying these reproduction emblems, be sure to examine them before buying. Some of them are distorted and will never hug the side of the fender like the original does. If you're buying from a local Mustang vendor, ask to see about eight to ten emblems. Pick the best from the lot...look down the edge and see that they are flat and the studs match up with your original emblem.
The rocker panel trim comes loose by taking off the end nuts just inside the front fender flare and just inside the rear fender flare. Once these nuts are off, pry up from the bottom of the molding using a 1" putty knife. Keep the putty knife as close to the trim clips as possible but just to either side of it. Replacement molding comes with either plastic or metal clips. The metal clips are much better for show cars because they mount easier and hold better. Drill out the old trim clips. Pop rivet in the new trim clips and install the molding. Put nuts on both end clips.
