classic industries and many others sell it.My gm dealer had mine and installed it when they painted the car.If its the thin molding(1/4in.) they used this on other gm cars also.

The 85s just used a thin black molding like Zee28 has. In 86 they went to the much nicer painted style. I called about some for my IROC (I still have yet to get them though) and found them for about $30 for all pieces from various junk yards.

I personally think the car looks better without the blck moulding, but its your car, your choice. Just my 2 cents.

I think the car looks great with the black molding, the molding of the same color looks bland and doesn't highlight the rest of the car.
Check out pictures 33 on my webpage.
I have the black molding, it did have faided red moldings but those had to come off.
