Default Triple Door Guards

Before I settled on my mag. red '01, I drove an '03 silver vert - it had three door guard strips running down each side instead of my 1. A long one on the bottom, medium in the middle, and short on top, all coming out of the side vent. (see photochop)

Gave it kind of a Testarossa look.

I've looked all over the Web for these, but to no avail.

Any help?

Looks like a homemade job. I would think they bought 2 more factory-molding strips and custom cut them to look like the picture above. They would have to be painted then installed with some sort of adhesive.

You sure they're not off a Ferrari? In the pic, it looks like they don't align with the front fender/door anyway.

I just made the pic 5 min. ago to show what I was looking for, Sorry to confuse. (stole the pic from http://www.midalcorvette.com/gallery/page2.cfm)

I didn't take a pic of the car I drove, and it's since been sold.

I looked at them for a while, they looked factory.

From the looks of the interrior mods, the prev. owner was not skilled enough to do them himself, he had crappy carbon fiber mods sticky taped over original moldings.
