Default Aftermarket Stainless Trim Moldings

Has anyone had experience with new aftermarket stainless trim moldings? I'm looking into getting the fastback rear window trim right now as well as possibly the drip rail stainless. From what I understand they are a thinner material than the original pieces. Any issues with the fitment, quality, etc from those who have installed them? Anything else I need to be concerned with?

Thanks in advance!

They are not thinner, but the alloy is softer. I have installed front and rear, coupe and fastback, without damage, but you have to be careful. I use a nylon 'bone' tool to spread out the force of the pressure needed to press the mouldings into place.
