I'm not aware of any Gbody with stainless windshield trim....I believe all 2 door front window trim will interchange between 2 doors. Rear window is of course specific to the Camino,. Except for the very front piece of the A pillar trim the rest is specific to Camino as well.

I'm not familiar with refinishing the anodized aluminum...hopefully someone else will help out there..

Refinishing the anodized aluminum could go either way....depends on how shot the anodizing is. If there is any deep scratches that penetrated the anodizing layer it pretty much needs to be stripped. I've heard of people using plain jane oven cleaner, but I've personally haven't. Depending on how you want the finished product, you could strip it, repolish and use a good clear coat, if in good condition just buff it out, have it re-anodized (which I hear is quite pricey), or have it powder coated (that's where my trim is at now).
Several options, depends on budget...look on YouTube for videos and Google it. Hope this helps.
