    I purchased a set from Stoddard a few years back, also would not bolt up. The quality of the chrome was so poor that a microfiber cloth would catch on it. Generally the chrome quality of many repops is so bad that I've considered sending it straight to a plater.

    Hi Frank, I would try to find a good used set that you can rechrome, then buy new rubber strips from rennsp.com for $28 each. King of trim should be able to rechrome for you kingoftrim@gmail.com
