Molding strip
Vette was in body shop , when I got it back the thin strip where the fender screws down to the inner fender well which is held down by the screws was missing on one side. Went back to body shop and you no the answer I got. If you look down between the hood and fender gap one side you see black the other side you see paint . Strip is missing . Like to no name or part #so I can get one. thanks Joe

Sounds like the body shop didn't do the work correctly. No reason why you should not get the car back with all of the body components in place.
I would go back and tell them to fix it properly. Maybe bring along some pics of another car with the molding correctly in place. No way I would have accepted the work, much less paid for it. If your insurance was paying for the work, contact them and say the work is unacceptable. Take pics of the improper repair and have the pics of the proper way it should look.
