Year, make, model?

Should be the same for every year. It's never going to be available after market. Get one off another 620 in a wrecking yard.

 

It's metal, unlike the rest of the grill, and most people paint over it which is too bad as it does show and should be gray. I was never able to get one off without snapping the 8mm? nuts off or spinning them inside the trim. You could easily find new nuts and bolts and grind them down to fit.

Somewhere, and maybe it was here, I saw a tutorial on how to reuse/repair the hood trim. Look around for it.

Ghetto Braden did a how-to but it was on using carriage bolts to bolt the trim back on.

If you know the profile, you can search for universal weatherstripping here - https://www.steelerubber.com/universal-parts

 

These guys have a ton of OEM style clips and fasteners - http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/default.asp

78-79 trim needs to be black since they use a different grill.
Someone in Mexico was making them in stainless.
I have not been able to find them again.
My original got lost in a divorce and the one I have looks like lace since there is so many rust holes in.
The trick to getting the nuts off is to use a round wire brush on a drill to clean the threads then wd40 it

You can buy these to replace the old ones, they come in different sizes
