I got a whole car kit from Wilcox Corvette.. He's a forum vendor and it has been fine so far. I'm very happy with it. (Watch the hatch corners when you install. Careful with them. That piece should have the face slicked up with dielectric grease or something similar when you first install it, and it helps a lot.)

He runs exclusive, forum specials all the time.. Just keep an eye out for one and you'll get a deal.

He has install videos too. They help.

A bunch of guys here suggested installing it without adhesive, and that worked great. It lets it kind of stretch and settle on its own without being pulled out of shape. Hasn't threatened to come loose and there's no mess. Good time to re-black the trim too!
