Unfortunately the gas pedal trim was on indefinite back order (maybe a month or more). So I decided to cancel the back order and buy the trim somewhere else. In spite of many many quality and customer service complaints I've read about, I’ve purchased from LMC twice, both were good experiences so I tried it again. 3rd time wasn't the charm.
First up the flimsy and vulnerable trim was shipped in a padded envelope, so of course if arrived warped, twisted, and all of the tabs were bent and required straightening.
Second the piece was malformed. The sides, top, and bottom are suppose to be parallel as shown in this example:
Also the rectangular holes were punched from the backside, so the rough edge is facing forward instead of against the pedal. All in all it’s a completely sub standard part compared to what Chevy Duty supplied. I should have waited for the backorder, proving once again a lack of patience is rarely a good thing.

sorry to hear about the bad luck with inferior parts...just last night i was discussing that topic with a friend from the S-10 forum i frequent...aftermarket stuff is always such a hit-or-miss, which sucks....i clearly see what you're referring to about the piece not being parallel...as patient as i am, i tend to get antsy as well when i want a project finished
