WHAT LOWER INTERIOR TRIM DID YOU USE WITH VEGA PLUG ?

I bought an entire black interior trim kit from year one . It appears the lower trim is a little short , I guess the Vega widow is a little wider than the Daytona . Anybody  been there , done that ? I really don't want to piece the lower together , Tomorrow I will search for a longer trim .

Another very important detail is the lower trim and package tray landings , here is the start of handling that dilemma , I have to add the metal lip for trim and 3/8 below that another for package tray .
