Buick trim

[enjenjo]

I want to change the trim on my Buick, and need some opinions. I do not like the wide trim on it now, never did. There was also a narrow trim, stainless steel, about 3/4" wide with a rib in the center. I have a set of that trim too. That's what I want to use. But I don't like the ventiports in the narrow trim. So I figure to rework a spare quarter trim for the front fender eliminating the ventiports.

Now for your opinion. I would still like the ventiports, but not in the trim, after all it is a Buick. So I was thinking of using some from another year. I don't think round ones fit the look of the car, so I thought of using 50 model ventiports, but the ones on a new Lucerne look like they might work too. Of course there are other years too. What would you do?

50's....IMO.

I like the newer ones, are they "stick ons?"

Yes they are, and that's one of the problems. I am seeing them "stuck" on everything.

Mark me down for the reworked quarter trim ....Without "Venti-ports" ...I think it looks "cleaner or simpler" without them ....  I have always thought of them as an "add-on" to an otherwise clean design.. :?

I agree with the cleaner no port look. I like clean and smooth.

I like the Lucerne ports incorporated into the side trim. The linear style works with the lines of the wagon.
