I just finally got it. Be aware this stuff is clearly different than all the other molding out there. I noticed significant differences to what you order from T-Molding and other places (that all source from Outwater plastics in bulk)

- It's a bit duller, not a super high gloss

- When cut, it's not smooth, it's more 'foamy' and seems to be a bit more prone to permanent indenting (like from a fingernail)

- It acts more like rubber than plastic (takes longer to return to original shape after bending and has a distinct odor)

- The nubs off the spine are thinner but more rigid (meaning they dont seem to bend back and up towards the spine when pressed into the channel). It seemed to be harder to push with fingers into a standard slot that I've put lots from T-Molding.com in. (I haven't tried to install with a mallet yet)

- The pink is clearly not close to the hot pink/purple of an original unfaded marquee or sideart on a Ms.Pac. It's closer to a slightly faded version where some of the blue tint was lost, but is much closer than anything available elsewhere.

I'll try to post some picture comparisons in a day or so to regular red, and the bright red that T-Molding also sells.

Overall I'm annoyed at all the repeated emails over 5 weeks after payment to get it shipped but it finially did arrive a few days after shiping. Also I was not aware that it was so different from all other molding, and the color wasn't quite what I thought from reading other posts. But there is nothing else close so it will have to do.
