Re: Any differences in side trim vendors?

When I was restoring my k20 (now sold), I ordered a complete upper and lower set of trim from a large retailer, that supports our trucks. If I remember correctly, all the pieces had Counterpart stickers on them. Although the pieces looked great, the fit was less than desirable. The punched mounting screw holes on the lower rear bed and the front lower fender trim pieces didn't even come close to lining up.

In addition, the upper bed pieces were really wavy. Meaning, when I laid the trim pieces on edge on my granite kitchen counters, I could see air between the trim and the granite in multiple spots - like 1/8" plus in several spots. The retailer finally agreed to a prepaid return and money back after sending them multiple pictures of the numerous issues.

I then ordered a full set of Mar-K trim through Brothers Trucks and couldn't have been happier. Looked great, nice and straight and the holes lined up.
