Product review (5 stars): They're Metal!
When I had to replace my old stove, the installer accidentally took my metal stove strips, along with the old stove.

I wasn't too upset until I started looking to replace them and found that they're all white plastic (instead of metal) now-a-days. I have an almond-colored range, plus worry about foods (such as spaghetti sauce) staining white plastic.

This dealer was the only that I could find, at Amazon or anywhere else, that still sells the metal strips.

They shipped them quickly and they're even nicer than the ones that I had previously ... For one thing, they have a smoother surface than the ones I had before, which will make them easier to keep clean, as grease tended to stick in the brushed surface of the other ones.  They're wider than the ones I had before, too. Very sturdy and not likely to bend. I'm happy.

They're each sold individually so you'll need to order two if you want to have one for each side of the stove.

UPDATE, MARCH 2013: THIS PRODUCT THAT MY REVIEW IS ATTACHED TO IS NOT THE PRODUCT THAT I ORIGINALLY REVIEWED 4 YEARS AGO. THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED (AND AM STILL USING) IS SOLID METAL WHEREAS THE PRODUCT THAT AMAZON HAS ATTACHED MY REVIEW TO IS METAL-PLATED PLASTIC.  AMAZON DOES STILL LIST THE ALL-METAL VERSION.  JUST DO AN AMAZON SEARCH FOR: "Kleen Seams(tm) Stove Counter Gap Cover - Improvements".  HOPE THIS HELPS.
