Have you shopped around a bit? I have noticed they sell many of the exact products others sell but some at 4x the price.

How's the quality of Classic Industries wheel lip moldings? This is for my 69 Dart GTS. And I see they offer the lower rocker trim as well but no fasteners. Did all of the 69 models carry this trim or was it an option? I also see some cars with GTS on the front quarter panels. Is this correct? Thanks! Ted  If there is an M25 on your fender tag then you got the rocker molding, most had them. Be careful, some companies sell the 69 Camaro molding in place of the correct Dart molding, they look very similar but the Camaro is more of a bull nose and wider. The clips for the correct molding is available, R/T Specialties. The GTS on the fenders are just for stripe delete cars...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Repo wheel well moldings have tooling marks on them, and it's possible not all the holes line up with the holes on the car. I had a set and re-sold them just because of the holes for the front fenders didn't match the holes on my originals. The rears were ok as far as the hole placement. I also noticed that the curvature as far as how they sit up flush against the outside of the car was off a small amount when I held them in place. Not the wheel opening curve shape , but the shape in the other direction. I think they would have fit, but would require some pressure applied to get the screws started. The originals were plug and play, and these were close, but off just a tad.  If your adding them and drilling holes for the first time be sure to re-paint the holes on all sides with a high solids paint, and use the correct bees wax covered screws to keep the moisture out.

Yes, I have never gotten repop wheel moldings with the screw holes in the correct place, and ditto on the beeswax...
