Default Wide booty question

Hey just a quick question for those that have done their rear quarters.
The thin piece of weather stripping on the stock quarters, can it be reused or do did you order a new set for the flared fenders?
Im just in the process of installing a set of duraflex fenders.
Thx!

I don't recall there being any weather stripping on the front quarters, on the front ones. Where is it exactly, I can't picture it.

This is on the rear quarters of my 99 vert. Its glued along where the quarter runs along the sides of the trunk.

I think it's aftermarket. I had a seal like that on my 02 Coupe before I did the chrome covers. Here is a link to it:
