Has anyone installed a set of Metro Authentic Mopar reproduction Cuda wheel lip on an OEM Cuda quarter panel/fender? How do they the fit?

Been a lot of discussion on this. They say the ones from Dales Cuda Shop fit better but still need massaging to get on straight. I have not bought a set myself yet. saving the grief for later. They and the lower chrome mouldings will be the last parts to go on, sometime next month.
The technique I have seen is to use a bunch of small clamps to place it before drilling holes and mounting.

Here are some pix with the Metro's on my car. My car has Original fenders and 1/4's. You need to take your time use both hands and your knee and bend them to fit you car. Evey car oem or not will take work. The only trouble I had was a few bends that already existed in them that looked like bends not like knee rolling . Take a look.

Like any other trim, be sure and fit them up/drill required holes BEFORE you paint the car.

If you were referring to me I'm drilling the un-drilled molding, I "affix" it to the car and carefully mark it from behind with a 90 degree scribe then drill the trim
