@ranma21 sells them on here for the best price I could find. If you decide to paint yours don’t take them off. Just tape up everything and paint them on the truck. The clips are brittle after 20 + years and they will break. Don’t ask me how I know.

So the black rubber/plastic on the moulding is just cosmetic?

Yes I cut off the black plastic, looks like regular chrome style trim now

I just removed my trim all together when it started peeling. The underlying metal was already painted black and I can easily touch that up as needed. Looks great as far as I am concerned.
