weather stripping and exterior chrome panel trim?

Does anyone know of a cheaper place to get weather stripping for the hood, hatch, and doors? The z store wants from $111.00 to $355.00 for a side of weather stripping that's ridculous for a 7 foot piece of rubber.

Also i don't see paying an arm and a leg for the exterior chrome trim around the windows, doors, hatch, and t tops. do ya guys know of anyone cheaper. appreciate it guys!

aside from http://www.blackdragonauto.com/, the Dealership (which is probally going to be more) or ebay (which i doubt)....

i think the best bet is hitting up a junk yard for some that still have decent rubber. its rare but some times you do find one

Exterior chrome is NLA. The only option is the junk yard. When buying J/Y weather stripping, always check the donor car for interior rust and leak damage first.

Wait until you price T-top seals if you think weather stripping is pricy.

oh i know how pricy those can get. i just wanted to ask and be sure that there wasn't any other online stores where i could get it cheaper. I know the junkyard is one option but im trying to make it a last resort. thanks though.

Still going to cost ya, but about as cheap as you can get them. I replaced mine all the way around. That hurt my wallet, but it had to be done. Soon, you'll never be able to find these parts.
