1996 monte Carlo Ls

Does anyone know what the name of the part is, that looks like a strip on the side of the car. It often runs acroos the door and in my case across the left side. Is it called a panel. And I'm talking exterior too. That is the only part I need however I don't what neame of it is and where to find it.

I am not sure but you might be talking about the side molding which protects your door from being scratched by other people opening their car doors.
