Body Side Molding

Looking for a set of body side door moldings. If anyone out there would have a set, color does not matter as I will be painting them to match the car. PM me if you have anything available. Thank you in advance.

Re: Body Side Molding

My 1984 Trans AM has the factory mounted body sire mouldings which are colour keyed. U hardly know they are present as they blend right in.
Decades ago, I installed the aftermarket body side mouldings on my 1970 Chevelle. Real door ding savers.
U could purchase aftermarket set & have them installed. I would do that.

You can buy the 87-92 style that comes in two rolls (82-86 are different). They do have to be cut. I've still got a set, but I'll be using them eventually when I have my car repainted.

Well darn. I just checked Camaro Central and it looks like they've been discontinued.

Re: Body Side Molding

Are you looking for a full 6pc set, or just the long ones for the doors? I believe I still have a couple sets of good used ones. But I'm currently out of town and can't double check.

Thank you for the offer. I was able to get the full 6 piece set (used) from a guy up in Michigan, so I should be set.

I did that back in 1970 after purchasing a new chevelle. Came in a roll with double sided strong sticky tape. Easy to install

Nothing better than 3M tapes. Check it out. Good luck. There are companies that actually install the aftermarket bodyside mouldings. They had a jig. Saw this at autorama many years ago in Detroit. Impressive.

Re: Body Side Molding

Find the guy who puts all the add-on stuff on new cars.
He prob has a roll of the stuff that closely matches your color.
Prob. install them too for a cash in hand price!

My 84 is red and has factory black bang strips on it.
