$10 junkyard find
Picked up the trim that goes around the back of the cab (not the one in the picture) from the local junkyard for $10 both the corner pieces and the center piece. The paint on the corner pieces is a bit faded and its covered in dust and dirt but ill put up some pictures when Ive cleaned it.
I see a new set of this trim costs a couple hundred dollars.

Re: $10 junkyard find
I repainted my fender emblems with paint I found at the hobby store. Had to paint them because no one makes them aftermarket.

No I didnt get the clips. I thought I would put them on my truck and just use those clips but since I know how to get them off now I think ill reuse the ones on my truck and sell this set so I can buy other things for my truck.

Re: $10 junkyard find
Heres a corner piece.
Is there a way to get those scratches and blemishes out? Could I use some really fine sand paper to take them out or something?
