Trim pieces?

Anyone know of a good place to find trim that is a little more reasonably priced? Any ideas on how to repair old trim. Mine isn't too bad but it could use some work. It is going in the body shop to have all of the rust cut out and fresh metal put in. Last thing I want is fresh paint and old trim.

A little rust never hurt anyone. I consider it weight reduction.

Re: Trim pieces?

there's a tread on here somewhere on how to repair it, looked fairly easy.

Re: Trim pieces?

Become a subscribing member and put a WTB ad in the parts section. I picked up an entire upper/lower trim set, used OEM, for less than 1/2 the cost of new re-pop stuff on the board here. It is fairly easy to polish, and you can work out small dents with different sized punches. Painting the black stripes on the upper trim is pretty easy with a brush.
