    Default When it rains, it pours...

    I have been searching for these for over a year. I've scoured the Interent for hours, searching Ebay here, Japan, Austrailia, and Europe looking for these things. I've called everywhere I could on the Net. I've E-mailed so many people that are selling parts/cars to see if they have these to no avail. And then I get the opportunity to stop at Hubcap Daddy on Moreland Avenue and guess the fuck what.....they had them. A brand new fucking set. I am very happy as this was the final piece of the puzzle for the outerior of my car. Later, QD.

    Lol. I never knew people didn't know what trim bands are. I guess it is more of a old school thing though. I had a set on one of my wagons and I have some for my Cuda as well. Nice pick up!

    Yes, it's in the car. Not screwed in or anything, but you can't tell that. It looks like it's firmly in place. So I'll grab pics of that as well. Later, QD.

    Actually, tires are easily available. Most tire stores don't stock them but can have them within a day. Later, QD.
