they are bare metal, but of all the original ones ive seen on cars i think the factory ones are stainless steel like the other "chrome" decor trim pieces on the tops of doors, fenders & rear of hood. maybe the repros are alum?

Highly doubtful Classic have the correct door edge guard. If their ad says suits Camaro/Firebird, shop somewhere else. The door edges are not the same, the Camaro edge guard is far shorter.
NOS GM 71-81 Firebird guards #995692 /set NOS GM Camaro guards #993964 /set. |

First time I heard you could even order them on a pace car. I could see dealer added, but I didn't realize they could end up on a factory window sticker. Interesting topic for sure! Always learning something new! Were they pressed on the edge, or did they have tabs on them the extended to the jamb & held with screws?

as mentioned by Trevor, only the early ones are screw on, the screw on pieces were replaced with press on units.
These are the correct ones: (what appears to be peeing chrome is actually black paint)

Never returned to read replies, probably busy making Camaro door guards fit.
