Aftermarket trim quality?
I need to buy some trim pieces for my 96. My wheel arch trim needs replacing. I just bought the headlight trim from LMC and not real impressed with the quality. Is there a difference from other vendors? I would like the wheel trim with the black plastic liner but Dennis Carpenter only carries the non liner trim. I'm looking for better options than LMC. I also need a grill and wonder if there is a preferred Mfg.

I have no idea what “headlight trim” you bought since the chrome around the headlight is part of the headlight assembly and not available for purchase separately.

Sure they are.
I have a feeling a lot of stuff branded differently is all made in one place in China. I got about a decade from the Evan-Fischer branded headlight bezels. After that, they didn't look horrible, but it was clearly time. I recently freshened up both trucks with new headlights and bezels after their paint jobs. If not for fresh paint, they wouldn't have stood out really. Just kinda fading more than peeling if you will.
