Has anybody recently bought some reproduction wheel well trim? If so, where from and how well did it fit(quality)?

If you order it and it comes in a wrapper that says 'Corvex' ....SEND IT BACK. It fits awful. I got some GM NOS ones after that Corvex disaster. Of course the NOS ones were big $$$ but fit nice.

I second the Corvex disaster. With my current Camaro, I decided to go w/o the moldings due to the poor quality of reproductions, and the high prices of NOS pieces.

Corvex wheel well moldings for 69 Camaros stinks! It's funny how they can make such a piece of crap reproduction molding, and yet some other things they manufacture, like their drip rail trim and windshield trim, is not that bad at all! Do yourself a favor and spring for a GM set, I still see them go between 200-400 dollars on eBay.........KZ

Mine look like they will fit fine, but I couldn't get any of the screws to go into the factory holes in the fenders without stripping. I've been working on other things so I haven't gotten back to the wheel moldings yet.

I also made the mistake of purchasing these repros. Unfortunetly, I installed the rear set first. Only minor fit problems there. The fronts were a nightmare! If I hadn't already installed the rears, I would have never installed the fronts. I did get them all on, but not without some serious modifications to the trim to fit the body holes, and not without some serious four letter, five letter and six letter words.
