It's called body side molding and you can buy it from a Ecklers, GM, etc.

Should be around $250.00 bucks new or try the Parts for sale area and post request, a lot of members take it off because they don't like the way it looks.

I think they break up the smooth flowing lines of the car. I get many comments from people on how my vette looks better than others they have seen, and I believe it's because I don't have them.

You can try Fred Beans or Fichtner Chevy also. They have good prices on parts.
