Just Bought My Last Aftermarket Trim

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Messing with the windshield trim had me taking a look at the possibility of running the trim from the lower-rear of the windows around
the back of the cab.

I looked on a familiar site that sells parts. Not to hack at them, but the company name has three letters in it that starts with "L".
Fair enough. About $50 with shipping...even though they insist on sending everything with all that damnable styro popcorn in the box...
I went for it.

This morning I pulled the trim out of the box...along with 2 sq yds of the white stuff...Unwrapped it. "Gotta protect the new paint"....
...Carefully slapped some blue tape on it. Slapped some blue tape on the cab.

Held it up.

There was not ONE PLACE...(okay, maybe one or two) ...that the trim laid flat on the cab or met the cab's corner radius. I said to myself,
"Be patient". "It was only fifty bucks." "Bend it a little". "Slowly." "Slowly." "Slowly."

An hour later, I said "What the *&%* am I doing with this crap?" "It looks like crap." "In my hands, and on MY truck, it'll always look like crap."

No more aftermarket trim for me.
