Wheel lip molding. My cars originals were ok but would pale in comparison to the rest of the car so I went in search of new ones. Six Pack Performance had these locally in a Mopar bag so I got them. I hope my experience with these is better than some reports I have heard about reproduction wheel lip moldings

Weren't you thinking of selling your Cuda at one time?

Now, aren't you glad you didn't?

Car is looking great!

Thanks, well I asked a whats it worth but was not really considering selling it (at least I don't think I was)

EDIT: it was the lazy part of me trying to talk the real me into taking the easy way out. I guess I was tired of waiting....so here we are THANKS MOPARTS

My painter found, and is waiting on a spec sheet for the attached paint sample. If all looks ok on paper, he'll be test spraying some of this.

Another shot.

EDIT He called all looks good on paper. He said that it will be waxable since it's a single stage hardened product

I hope so too; my repro fronts grace my storage room wall now as I re-used the originals due to the EXTREMELY poor fit and look of the repops. Still have to install the rears (originals were long gone) and I'm NOT looking forward to it.

My w/w trim pieces were on backorder from year one for nearly 9 months, and when I got them I was not really impressed with their quality either. They were missing the contours at the body lines and when I formed them I pushed them to the limit..Not a recommendation buy I would give to anyone. My originals were long gone.. Good luck

The W/W Trim pieces didnt have a mopar name. Cant what remember what lableing was on the packaging. Mine are OK but There has to be someone out there that makes a quality product that is easy to install.

This is a test panel sprayed with the textured black previously shown (not the reflective version)

A closer view, it's not exact but from a foot back looks real nice. It will be a little easier to maintain than the original organisol paint, and is a Urethane.
