Repainting 73 340 Duster Vinyl Yes or No?

It is your car, don't like vinyl top, don't put it on. Want the stripes, put them on, remember this is YOUR CAR. Do whatever you want that makes you happy.

I would leave the trim for the top on it incase later you want to reinstall the top then you just have to get one installed. If you remove the mounting tabs for the trim would be harder to reinstall later.

I personally like vinyl tops if the right color combo
