The outer trim around the top is not available in reproduction. It can be buffed since it's stainless steel.

One of the tops trim had a big dent and gouge when I got my car. There was no way that I could ever have fixed that. I went to a couple of local swap meets and finally found a top that had a nice trim but the fiberglass had a big hole in it. I removed that trim and CAREFULLY installed it on my top. Yes it was about $50 for both the junk tops, but I can't see anyother solution.
