Original Go Mango vs new

One of my 70 Darts has a blacked out hood in the factory location and the black butt stripe. I wish that I had left the vinyl top trim in place and now I could paint the top black where the vinyl would have been. Dodge actually had this as an option, but it was overshadowed by packages and deals on vinyl tops. A few months ago I went to an outstanding private collection near Salem OR and they had a perfectly restored 1971 Hemi Cuda that was black with a white painted top from the factory. Just confirmed that I never should have removed the vinyl top trim.
