Who makes the best repro trim?

I guess I should have said who carries the best reproduction side moldings. Specifically I am looking for a complete set of black lower side moldings for a 72 blazer. I think different vendors sell trim made in different places and of different qualities. If anyone would care to share their experiences and where they bought from I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
John

I have bought mar-k, and have a complete set of counterpart. Both look nicer than GM.

Re: Who makes the best repro trim?

Mar-k was more expensive, and a LITTLE nicer than the Counterpart. Unless you placed them side by side, you wouldn't know there was a difference. If you wanted to save a few bucks, buy the counterpart. Once mounted on your truck, you won't know whos they are. I have some NOS that I was going to use on my own, untill I bought some aftermarket for a customer. Now I'm going to sell the NOS, buy some afterrmarket, and have $ left over for other stuff. LOL!

Re: Who makes the best repro trim?

I've seen nice and also junk from counterparts...seems it might come from two sources?

Mark-K is a little pricier but I've heard nothing but great comments about the quality.

Goodmark use to have the best price on trim kits but the Clips are junk. They were selling Apex-Dynacorn trim which I am about postive it comes out of the same box as Counterparts

Re: Who makes the best repro trim?

The ONLY negative thing I can say about the Mar-k is that they don't make every piece, (seems like either the front or rear fender pieces are outsourced) and the black paint didn't match the rest of the pieces.
