They are aftermarket.
The trim pieces that came on the roadster were stainless, no rubber. I have
seen some of the trim pieces like you describe on some cars. That kind of
trim was used by paint shops because that kind of trim is plentiful and easy
to get.
The correct trim for your car is the convex or "outie" trim that tapers to a
point before your front wheel arch. It is a plain piece of metal that is
REALLY hard to find and not cheap. Ours vendors do have this trim but be
prepared to open your wallet.
The earlier cars 63-67 used concave trim or the "innie" trim that was
beveled inwards.
Good Luck!

To All,
Thanks so much for your help in assistance getting my trim pieces off.
After the perfect help from the listers the pieces came off IN ONE PIECE!
Can you believe it?
However, something else doesn't seem right with my car. I have a 70 2000.
Did all years and models (meaning mine) come with chrome only side trim
guards (those long pieces of chrome that run down the side of the car)?
Mine are chrome and black plastic/rubber. One lister noted this and said
they are after market. Did some dolt (aka PO) put on these monstrosities?
I always thought that they were original.
