Greetings Bricksters: As you may recall, I'm the proud owner of an '87 240DL daily driver, 193K on the ticker, and am about to pull the trigger on an '80 that has been sitting around for a while now. I've slowly been buttering up the present owner to sell, and I suspect that he's ready to let it go. But that's another story....Anyway, having owned, previously a '79, an '81, and now the '87, I have decided that I like the more 'agressive' profile of the later (post-'86) models, largely, I believe, due to the wide black trim at the bottom of the fenders, doors and rear bumper area. This, coupled with the black rockers, just sets the car off nicely. The question is, is there an aftermarket supplier of these lower trim pieces for installation on an older car, or are these "dealer only" items? I'd like to buy them new, since I am sure that junkyard 'take offs' will most likely be shot, faded, brittle, or damaged in removal. Any sources? Has anyone done the installation, and if so, how'd you like it? As always, thanks in advance.

Brad
