Where's a good place to get impact strips, chrome wheel arches, an carpet? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

lha1992 · 10-15-2011, 03:51 PM

I'm in need of finding a place where I can get a set of the chrome impact strips that go down the sides of the truck, maybe chrome wheel arches for the fender wheel wells, and a carpet kit.

Tell me some of y'alls experiences and how good the quality was with the stuff you got from whoever you got your parts from?

Thanks

I dont like wheel arch strips. I've found that they are a major rust hazard, one of mine was loose fell off and exposed a rust arch of holes that were hidden before. I believe LMC has everything your looking for though

summit racing, amazon.com tons of places, even ebay.

As for chrome impact strips, never saw em, old style trucks had some, but usually on these the impact strips are black plastic maybe a touch of chrome on top, now if you mean the stainless rocket trim, wide chrome strips, those are called something else, not impact strips. They are called stainless rocker trim or such. I have it on my 88 and I also have the wider stainles fender trim too, both came from streetsideauto.com/

I picked up the wheel opening trim at my local chevy dealer for my 88. If I remember right it was less than $30 for all four pieces.

Come to think of it your right about the wheel arch strips collecting dirt and crap and being a rust hazard. LMC I keep hearing bad experiences from but IDK some people have good some people have bad.

Yes, the black plastic molding trim down the sides with the touch of chrome at the top! IDK if i should buy them from aftermarket or have to buy them a the dealer and the dealer is gonna charge an arm an a leg.

Rock auto carries ACC carpet as well. I havent used ACC but have a few friends that have and they have always had nothing but good things to say about them. Rock auto has about the best prices on it that I have seen as well.
