It looks like a wide seam in the front and a narrow seam in the rear, right? :? :)

A new car with a vinyl top! That must be very rare. Kinda cool/kinda ugly at the same time? :? :shock: 8)

Hi KissAlien,

I don't know if you made any close-up shots, but I'd like to know how they made the separation between vinyl and paint, I don't see any trim (granted, chrome trim on a modern car may be far-fetched, but how did they do it, and what does it look like?).

Thats a good point. I think it looks like black trim around the back. Around the front screen it looks like it still needs the chrome trim to finish it off, it looks plain.

That looks great! I like the vinyl top better than those fender/bonnet stripes, which the Challenger never got (only the 71 on Road Runner). Also good to see modern wheels with some decent offset

UGH!!!

Challengers are mean steel muscle cars, not fancy dainty vinyl mush.

I always accepted older vinyl-top cars, because I understand people go through crazy stages, like the time where pimping out vans was cool. But its 2009. There is no place in this world for fugly vinyl tops.

I didn't take the pics, I found them on the net. This is the best I could come up with.
