very sorry to hear about the mishap.

there are really only 3 choices for the moldings;

-new aftermarket

-NOS [good luck]

-used OEM parts

I have a few odd pieces of used rocker moldings...they aren't show quality but maybe they will help...let me know exactly what pieces you need and I'll check the parts bin.

Thanks Wilma!! I guess repairing them might be out of the question?? A friend has ordered a couple new repros for his Nova. I'm going to see how they look when he gets them. Might be too good for my car!!! As you can see, they are the ribbed moldings that go from behind the front tire back to the rear wheel-well.

The driver's/"good" side........


As you can see they aren't close to show quality!! Maybe not even driver quality, but they are original!!


The passenger/bad side......


I think the exaggerated gap between the molding and bottom of the fender is because it was bent out pretty far??


By the way, anyone know how to get these off without hurting them even more?? I might just use a body shop close to me to do the work. And if anyone knows of anyone who might have these NOS/OEM please let me know!! I'll put the word out with the Nova "community" too. Thanks so much guys!! My "back-side" is already starting to feel better!!
