I was hoping you were going to say vinyl. I love the way the colors and textures contrast. It just helps it stand out that much further next to boring cars of today like the sentra, prius, and civic.

I think the vinyl will look great against the white car. I am planing on doing it myself the top needs a little work first it looks like someone either dragged it across the floor or used a grinder on the back edge of the top.

95% of the top has been striped the rear window has been removed in one piece.
The question I have is with these scratches, I swear the PO dragged the top across his garage several times. and what I should do with the tips as well I am planning on getting the chrome caps but I am wondering how hard it would be to rebuild them out of fiberglass.

Jack - I'm no body man, but geezy peezy, it looks like you're going thru a helluva lotta extra work on a top that you're gonna cover in vinyl anyhow. Couldn't you just sand it down to the primer coat, fill in any scratches/gouges and then have the vinyl installed? Just curious. Anyway, I look forward to seeing the finished project, sounds killer!
