I bought my set at the nationals and I think it was metro, but not sure. They fit great. I was kind of shocked at how nice they were.

Hi 71fish, I bought mine from Metro out of Douglas, Ga. and mine fit perfect also. You can check them out at www.metropartscompany.com as they have a web site. Here is a picture of the back of my Cuda after I installed the 4 moldings.

Here's how mine turned out. They've been on there for over seven years and have never popped loose.

Back when I bought mine, I had to get the clips from R/T specialties but it seems like I remember Metro started selling the clips as well.

Got mine from metro as well. Not as good as original but pretty close.

I got my trunk lid chrome from metro at this years Nationals, fits pretty good. I have purchased other items from them in the past and I've been pretty satisfied with the fit and finish.

I'm P!SSED!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered the tail trim over 2 WEEKS AGO from metropartscompany.com .. paid instantly via pay-pal.. and nothing. They're located in GA or north carolina.. so it shipping should NOT take that long. I sent them 7 email... not one solitary reply.

Oh, this is thest part........... there is NO contact phone #. Does anyone out there know how I can contact them. This is unacceptable in my book. I'll never again order from someone whom I cannot reach.

pls help if you have a phone #. Thanks

I also have had a terrible time with them in the past when I was buying rocker panel moldings for a B body I had.

Rats, thought you guys were talking about the 3 piece set, anybody make those yet?
And while I'm on the subject, why were there two versions? 4 part for earlier years?

The 3 piece set is suppose to be coming out 2006 but can't be sure of anything anymore?? I would like a set or two of those when they hit the stores!
