Man, that guy is just cruising through this body work!! The car looks awesome, Street.  As far as the vinyl, I think it says a lot about the "kind" of car it is.  If it's going to be mean and bad, then no vinyl.  If it's to look sophisticated but fast, then yes, vinyl.  They have a good point about the black breaking up the color, though.  That's going to be a lot of purple!

but Rev, purple is awesome and the more the better  
i say no vinyl, mine has a vinyl top on it but its not going back on it when its done and its gonna be purple too    big surprise eh?  lol

[DodgeFreak]

sorry to hijack the thread....but quick question..........if the car didn't come with vinyl but you wanted it could you still put it on???  thanks and by the way lookin awesome sc73  purples gonna be awesome.

[moparbowhunter]

yes you can put on a vinyl top even if it didnt come with it from the factory but, why would you want to?  lol no offense to the people that like them    

[Rev-It-Up]

MBH, Plum Crazy is a gorgeous color...I love it!  I just think depending on what your trying to make your car look like, it can either detract or enhance.  Either way, you can't go wrong with that color!  If you don't go with the vinyl, I'd definately do a stripe and a spoiler.  That would look really cool!

When I got my Challenger I wasn't expecting to see a Vinyl top on it and I was going to remove it. Luckily I haven't and I'm going to keep it, looks good and if I didn't have it it would look like a Vanishing Point clone, it's not hasn't got the options and I don't want top be like Vanishing point - I'll be my on Kowalski  
Plus it's a nice major option

Rev, i read my mind!!!!   you know what they say about great minds  
PCP with black hocky stripe (440) and a spoiler  
dont get much better than that in my mind

It will look great either way, but Im a no vinyl vote.....  put a black out R/T hood stripe on it and a little something on the side and that will break it up....  but of course its ultimately up to you.  Its gonna look great Street!

Very COOL Street!  I would still be jumping up and down!!  Can't wait to see the pics!!

Looking great Street, but I was in the same boat a few years back when I did my first Challenger, couldn't decide vinyl or no vinyl. It was Rallye Red white vinyl......Well I decided no vinyl and after looking at it since it's been done,  I'm glad I went with NO Vinyl.  But I agree with others that it will look great either way....

[Street_Challenged73]

Well, sadly for me, he couldn't get my car painted today due to problems with his van.    But it should be painted by tomorrow night, so I'll get some photos then.

Would you happen to have any photos of your first Challenger?  If so, please post them.

Moving right along Street! My thought about the vinyl is that if it will be a daily driver, NO, if you will just be basically driving it in good (dry) weather I think the vinyl would be great. The vinyl takes a lot of extra care and is a potiental big problem area for collecting moisture which will turn into RUST. Any place that has vinyl or trim molding is a place for possible moisture problems, even just washing it, not to mention rain and snow. WSM had vinyl and is a "sunny day only" car and we optied to not put the vinly back, we just liked the clean plain lines of the car. ? ? I said "sunny day only",lol, last year we probably had 3+ hrs of rain in the 6+ hr. drive to Carlisle, but it was nice and sunney when we left home,lol.
