Now that I have it-what do I do with it??? I finally purchased some '71 GTX rocker trim (thanks Steve and Brandon). One piece looks like it's bare and the other looks like argent w/shiny fins. Was it anodized?

Anyone know how it actually came from the factory?

Thanks

Yes, they were anodized. The flat ends and the outer edges of the fins were bare, not painted. In between the fins was painted dark gray. A very difficult job to recreate 'em just right.

There used to be a retired Chrysler engineer in Mich that did them, but that has been years ago. Roger Gibson turned me on to him. And then they came back with the little rock chip dimples still in the ends.

I have always been curious who cast those things. The only cars I have seen them on were the '71Xs, AARs and one of the AMC muscle cars, maybe the AMX.

I am going to get mine polished. 71 Gran Coupe Barracudas had them as well. Love to see some close up survivor pics of some.

UpdateI took a look at my trim. One piece had paint gray paint just like Dave said (see attachment). It looked to me like it's the dark argent used on '71 wheel centers.
