Ordered mine through Camaro Specialties, after returning a few sets to different vendors. Fitment was very good, appearance pretty darn close to factory.Has rolled bead. Deck lid seal very good. Baby powderd during installation.

I could have re-used the old ones, shy of some cracking in areas, they were in pretty good shape. Which leads me to how the doors and trunk closes. When I called Bob, I stated I didn't want this car sounding like a race car, having to slam doors. Also the trunk had a distinct sound when opened, pretty much closed by it's own weight. Sounds crazy, but he got it. Car closes 100% like before, windows seal proper.If it didn't, would have re-used the originals.

Per JohnZ, also treated with this after installation:

Pricey, but a little goes a very long way.

I originally used the camaro specialties and didn't like how they fit the rear of door where it comes up to glass. On mine the HBC (OER  box)  fit better and doors shut very nice. I am thinking HBC had metal in front and rear and part of trouble I had with camaro specialty was there's didn't have metal in rear. The HBC acted like the end at rear of door is somehow molded in 2 pieces  and attached. I tore one loose here so be careful.

I didn't get a set of the roof rails from camaro specialties.  The latex HBC did fit nice though. I was concerned on the latex ones for the doors and got a set from each place
