Any differences in side trim vendors?

[special-K]

I haven't dealt with Mar-K for so long I guess I forgot where they are located. It's also not stainless, but anodized aluminum trim and I never caught that in the original post until now. I knew that The truck Shop is the sales end of their manufacturing company called Counterpart, which is what many independent vendors carry. looking at part of a loose piece of trim will only tell us the quality of the finish, but nothing about the fit. I know those guys and most of their products are decent. My point was, even if their trim is on level with Mar-K's, Mar-K's is better simply because it is made in the USA. Can't complain about jobs and manufacturing being sold out to foreign countries when the very reason that is happening is just what you admitted... to save a buck. To me it is worth the extra purely out of principle, when quality is made right here by fellow working Americans just like us.
