2G MB881973/74 drip molding

It's really impossible to find a new drip molding ?

Not impossible, but very difficult as they have been discontinued for a number of years. Expect to pay a hefty price when they do come up for sale. The last new set I saw for sale was by JNZ Tuning. You could post a WTB ad if some members are willing to let them go. Other then that, owners tend to refinish old ones.

How much you can pay for a 2g brand new kit of drip moulding?

At this point it's up to the buyer. If I had a new set I was actually willing to part with I would not do less than 100 a side. I squirreled a set years ago and about a year ago finally installed them.
You will have a hard time. If you find a set buy them

Thats the most challenging thing about owning a car that is no longer new enough that factory parts are available but not old enough that aftermarket restoration parts are being made. Good luck finding a set!

I've actually lucked out quite a bit at junkyards. Even though my local yards never have 4gs I pilfer as much as i can off the 420s. I usually sell them for about $50 a set. Sorry none at the moment. The old standard is plastidip -the thick stuff in a can works best- to refinish the old ones (depends how bad they are) or I've seen some with vinyl wrap that looked very good. Watch with the dip, only use it on the rails, i sprayed all of the window trim which looks great but gets sticky on really hot days. Gotta get innovative with these old cars without looking rice or half assed.

Also QUICKSILVER DIECAST has a ton of hard to find OEM DSM parts, and they seem.to be getting more. They specialize in older muscle cars but ive had great luck and prices with things like battery hold down, hood prop, strut top hats, etc all for reasonable prices (just got a new dipstick for $20 shipped)
