Vic Roma Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 I prefer just the upper wheel well molding with either the black or bright trim - but not the early 'thick' black. If there is upper trim I like just the plain chrome, no black insert. Again, all preference. Do you mean in either 80, or 81/82, there was “bright w/ vinyl” that had a different pattern/appearance? Did that generation of trim have no faux leather pattern, and it was just a straight/smooth black insert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great photo of it but you can see the black isn't as flat as the later years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matched the optional rub strips that were found on the front and rear bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
