So, whadya think?  Last year I changed the white stripe to black and swapped the 17" Centerlines for 15" Bassetts.  I'm thinking for this year I'll extend the black on red - or red on black - thesis and install a black vinyl top.  For the purists, it was a vinyl top, stripe delete car from the factory.

I love the look of vinyl tops.  And my pocketbook is still recovering (and will be for quite some time) from fixing the mess underneath my old one.  I'll never have another one.

NO! When we got our Firebird, some idiot had taken the vinyl top off and he filled in the rain channels with bondo,right over the rivet heads! Now, I recall seeing a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A in Mopar Muscle with a rare "Painted Roof", Basicially, it is a painted roof with the vinyl top moldings, looked pretty cool :2thumbs:! I would only go with one if it originally came from the factory with one,however, that is my own opinion.. Go with what your gut tell's you to do, afterall, it is your car! :2thumbs:

Your Charger looks sweet, It looks mean as it is, throw the cash into suspension upgrades, you can never lose there, Maybe a little window tint.

Heh.  I'm actually a little surprised by the opinions so far.  Didn't realize it was gonna be a Coke / Pepsi kinda deal.

Ron - tinted windows are a good idea -  your post reminded me that I wanted to do that.
