This is somthing I would like to do as well.  While we are on the subject, my wheel wells are already drilled for the molding.  Can I assume the car came with it from the factory?  Or are thay all drilled regardless?

Wheel well moulding were a popular dealer add-on.  If you have holes in the quarter/fenders, mouldings were installed at one time.  The only way to tell if your car came with them from the factory is by looking at the build sheet.

I got mine from Tom at R/T Specialties.  One was damaged in shipping and he sent me a replacement.

The best way to install them is to fit them to the car BEFORE paint.  They can be a pain to install.  If you already have holes for them, don't be surprised if you have to drill new holes.

I welded up all the old holes and started new.Like stated above test fit them before paint.The after market ones I got fit good.I added some filler to close some gaps.When you drill the holes for the screws kept them on the small side.

The aftermarket moldings will work for you. Just start in the middle of the wheel well, and work your way out to each end. There may be some messaging or whole enlarging to do, but not a problem.
