Too bad you didn't go to Columbus. Cuda stuff was everywhere.  I found everything  I needed till the money ran out. Monster Mopar will be in Sept. I could look for you. How much do you want to spend?

thanks for reply.

i live on the west coast so i couldn't make the Nats.  i really have no idea what cuda driprail molding sells for.  i rarely if ever see it for sale.  but i figured that i'd have to buy a complete set just to get that one lost piece that i need.  $100-150?.  just throwing out some $ figures.
 :dunno:
do you know if the stuff is reproduced by a company?

i checked metro parts company website and didn't see it.

I have no idea if anyone reproduces them. Take a pic of the piece that you need, then send me your cell phone number. If I see one there, I'll call you to okay the price.  Let me know which part you are talking about.

I went out and looked at my Cuda.  I'm guessing that you need the little piece that connects to the rail after the bent connector? Driver's or Passenger's side?

sorry i don't have a digital camera to take a pic of it.  but it's the outer chrome piece (on the drivers side) that runs diagnally along the rear quarter glass.  straight piece that's approx 12-13" right after the small 45 deg connector piece.
thanks

Cuda496,

I found you a pair of those trim pieces at Monster Mopar. A guy from Colorado had 2 sets and I convinced him to remove the 2 small pieces from one of the sets and just sell those to me for $30. I didn't remember which side you needed so I bought both the drivers and passenger side trim. I saw that the driver's side has a small minor ding that can be straightened and polished out. I then came home  to read that that is the side you needed.  The other side is good.
I'll sell them to you for $30 plus the shipping to your address.  Send me your address. My Paypal addy is ROBTDEL@GMAIL.COM
