Re: Lmc front 67 grill trim is terrible! Anyone else have this issue?
First, I thought this might come up, but I'm not knocking LMC in anyway. They have more stuff for sale than any other vendor for these trucks. I am, however, knocking the quality of these trims/clips. I have a lot to restore on this truck and the last thing I have time for is to spend hours on is getting these silly little clips to fit in the channels with the trim they were supposedly designed for. I was asking if anyone had any other alternatives to the brand that LMC sells. I was really surprised to see the quality vs the price they charge for 10 cents of thin aluminum and poorly made clips. I get frustrated with many things along the way as it becomes tedious, but this one is up there.

This is why I Love this forum soo much. You are able to ask (Has This Happen to You) In time you learn a-lot of info you get. And who is giving the Info. This Needs to be sifted thru . That is why I Wish GMC Pauls was close. They are Well Known for not selling Inferior Products. (By the way I am not a Paid Sponser) I posted a Link just a few days ago about the (This) trim from another Vendor. I was Not aware that it was Aluminum trim. I did not get offended by this This is a Live/Buy/learn/ and please share forum. Share knowledge and past experience. I hope you get your grill trim Just like you want it. .

Google YoPeCo products and see if you can locate their online catalog. Or someone in your area the reps for them. We have such a place near me so I don't have to buy fasteners by the box. They handle a lot of the oem type fasteners.

Are these the trim clips you are using to install the grill trim hoops. ?

No. The ones I used came with the lmc trim as a set. These are black and have two wire springs per clip.
