While I'm far from an options guru, I didn't think that they were available without the vinyl roof. I thought it was a matter of covering up the mounting holes, similar to the Superbirds having vinyl roofs to cover their body modifications. FWIW - I have never personally seen a painted roof car with the louvers. I thought the ones I've seen recently in pictures were simply added on by their owners. Again, just my observation and recollection over 24 years of interest.
