Oh yeah, option 2 is far cheaper. Much easier too, though I'd think the moldings wouldn't take more than a few days (two people, me and the guy I'm paying). First time and all. That's not accounting for paint.

I bought NOS all the way around. Clips and all. Wasn't cheap. Some sweet deals along the way, most at a premium. Other than two pieces that have since been replaced, all mint. There's another option, which would be about 20-30% cheaper for moldings. I hear good things about MAR-K.

Regardless, I'm back on the two-tone train and not looking back. Just need to figure out the right drop for the rear leaf springs.
