Front Hood Molding

Did a little searching and the consensus seems to be identical to my experience:
The angle is too shallow. It doesn't conform to the hood angle and sticks out at the ends. The one I tried to install is a Corvex brand.

I found three different part numbers at Eckler's. $68, $138 and $290. I would imagine the $68 one is probably the same as mine. I believe in you get what you pay for. Has anybody tried the more expensive molding? Any experience in one that does fit?

I don't have any experience with the reproduction trim, but here's an option.

Re: Front Hood Molding

For my 67, the grill trim loops I got are the same brand, Corvex, while they look good the angle of the trim is off,,, were the center bow tie rest on the trim top and bottom it does not match with the contour of the bow, the bow sticks out a bit. It'll do for now hope the bow tie got enough bit till I find better one. I think I paid $83.00 each. Yeah I went withthe low price. Also a call out for anyone with better results, good luck with yours, thanks all
