400E side cladding

First of all does the 400E have the side cladding that the later 300E's have instead of the impact strip? I'm wondering because I know this guy who is getting rid of his wrecked 400E and I would like to get my hands on that cladding. I guess that’s another question. If the 400E has the cladding would it fit on my 260E?

400E's were from 92 and 93 so yes. The cladding started with my year, 1990.

Sweet thanks. The only problem is the cladding is silver so I'll have to wait to put it on until I can afford a paint job but it'll be cool to finally get them. And Zorro about the other wheels, I'm getting some money for my birthday so I think I am going to be able to pay for the rest of the wheels. I think I'm going down to that meet in seattle and it would be cool if I could get the wheels for that. Are you going to have any free time coming up?
