Hey Guys,

You pretty much have 2 options. Find the OEM GM part numbers and search ebay or find oem used ones and polish them. I was able to find OEM GM trim for my 81 restoration which is a 2 year only trim. Your trim runs 83-87(88 on K5 and suburban)

You can also call your local GM dealer and have them do a search and see if any other dealer have stock.

Good Lord! I ordered the same junk from LMC.
I couldn't believe what crap and poor fitting it was! I still installed it, but all I really needed was the clips..my O.E.M. trim wasn't damaged.
Taking a Saturday and putting stock back on.

Any members have some mint OEM tucked away that they are willing to sell?

I feel your pain. I bought all new grille and trim pieces from Brother's. Complete junk when I opened the box. And it would cost me more to ship it back than I paid for it. So, I polished and painted my stock pieces, and the new junk is getting built in to a wall hanger for the garage

This is why I always look for trim when at the junk yard.
As long as it's not mangled it can be polished back.

Not sure why it's that hard to make aftermarket grill trim but I haven't seen or heard of any good options.
