Default 67 rocker trim

Does anyone make a good quality rocker trim kit? I've heard mixed reviews. The ones that came with my car are all banged up. I'd consider stainless if someone makes them as wel...

I'd recommend finding a good used set....even if you had to pay shipping from Houston.

Repros are terrible. I searched for a long time for an NOS set. They weren't cheap, but well worth it.

Where do you park your car?

I'd be happy to pay shipping from Houston...

Don't understand what parking you car has anything to do with it.

The bottom line the repros are terrible. They dent easily. You can look at the top of the moldings before I pulled off and you can see little bends where they were attached to the clips. The lips to hold onto the clips are weak. Sometimes my size 13's would kick them a little coming out of the car, and the moldings would wind up on the ground, knocked off the clips.

Ahhhh, made in China is awesome, isn't it.....
I can see the wavelines in my repro from where it attaches to the clips. OEM ones are dead straight.

I have a new set brand new in the tube if you are interested. PM if so.

They look good, but have a wave in the front part of one. I think it will buff out. They are about 8 years old and never been mounted. SWMBO decided she didn't want them on Captain America when I got it done. So they sit in the corner of the garage in the tube they came in.
