Is that the wheel well moulding you need?
probably the trim that goes on the edge of the fender.

I do not need the wheel well trim I need the fender trim piece which is about 4 feet long about 1.5 inches wide and comes to a point at one end. Thanks, Gregg

The part is 4 feet long, about 1.5 inches wide and comes to a point at the front.

The trim piece I am missing is from the passenger side front fender but it should be interchangeable and should be able to be used on the driver or passenger side.

Right (passenger side) but they should be interchangeable

Gregg, If you are looking for the long part that runs from headlight to door jam, they are different. There is a slight arch to the part and they do not interchange. How do I know that? When my wagon was stolen and they tried to put the trim back on the car they installed the driver trim on the passenger side. It will fit, but it looks like a smiley face and the clips don't fit right. I have pictures. That being said I have a less than perfect pass trim spear that needs much work. It is not cheap to fit stainless trim. And it seems on our cars the passenger side is beat up the worst. Stan
Unlike Hyper-Pak I've never had any difficulty interchanging these from right to left. However, when doing so you must remove the clips which are "offset" and reinstall them upside down or opposite (rotated 180degrees) of what they were on the other side. And when sighting down the length of my spare chrome strips they are straight and do NOT have any appreciable arc to them. How to account for the very different experiences with this trim is mystifying me.

Thanks everyone for the comments on the piece of fender trim and if they are interchangeable. I will follow the advice from Valiantpatrol and I will reinstall the clips as suggested. I will let you all know how it turns out. Thanks, Gregg.

Ok I got a driver side trim part down.
See the pictures.
There is a different width top and bottom of trim part.
It's hard to see but the taper is around 3/8 inch over around 4 feet.
And last picture is a drivers side installed on passenger side.
See the slight smile on fender, but not from me.
Now I am not saying you can't get it on, but it won't be right.

I was wondering how the fender trim worked out fit and finish wise.
