mc71454 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Is the top chrome trim above the black SS Stripe along the rear of the car the same as the bottom trim pieces below it ? Quote
RichG Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 The lower chrome attaches from underneath with screws and the upper trim has studs cast into it and uses barrel nuts through the extension housing. Quote
mc71454 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks for the replies... Â Any ideas on where I can find some? Â I like the blacked out look across the back but it would look funny without the other mouldings. I have a 454 emblem on the right side colored in black in the rear where the SS would go if it was an SS. The chrome and the blacked out area would look pretty good. Â Thanks !! Quote
John Burns Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Someone on this site actually had some made- you might find them if you did a search. Â NOS (and used) are really expensive but they appear on ebay sometimes. I cut the lip off of some bottom pieces and stuck them on with some 3M trim tape. It ain't a show car (and it isn't a 71 OR an SS either!), but I love the blacked-out look! Â Quote

mcmonte Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 I bought a set off ebay and made a mold of them. I turned around and resold them on ebay. The copies are a resin material that can be chromed like model car parts. I used an extra trim peice fliped, to go in between under trunk. Â Quote
lastss Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 My son has a real gm set rechromed with a small amount of pits that hardly show when install. $400 or best offer. Thanks Bob Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 well, in the for sale/wanted forum, you said $350.00, here, $400.00 Quote
lastss Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 My son owns these & was going to clone an ss he change his mind. Yes he wanted $400 & $350 min from a club member. Now he has lowwered it to $250 same as reserve, if you commit to buy before it bids to reserve on ebay. The buy it now for $400 is for outsiders. Hope this clears up any confusion. Later Bob Quote
