We did ours with a black vinyl top and no stripe, like it had originally. Challengers look nice with little to no foo-foo, lol.

I like Black Vinyl tops on e-bodies. Especially on bright and/or Hi-Impact colors. Panther Pink and Sublime are nicely off-set by a contracting black top.

Even though some cars look good with a vinyl top I'll never own a car with a vinyl top that doesn't fold down behind the back seat.......

Depends on the color of the car......mine has black vinyl on steel blue, looks better than solid blue, but black, or white look better without.

it depends on the color (body, vinyl top and stripes color)
I like black vinyl tops only on dark colors. Vinyl tops on bright colors are OK only with side stripe and hood treatment V21.
Dark stripes on bright body colors and bright stripes on dark body colors...

I voted for the vinyl top but didn't vote on the stripe since "no stripe" was not a choice. I am not a fan of stripes of any type on cars. Two of my cars have them and if it weren't for the fact that the cars originally came with the stripes, I would have taken them off years ago.

Here is a pic of mine with a vinyl top. Made a huge difference with the looks of the car.

Since it's a numbers matching R/T, why not put it back as it originally came? Do you have the build sheet and/or fender tag? That being said....I think a B5,black vinyl top 70 Challenger R/T looks better without a side stripe,and WITH the R/T badges on the fenders.

Looks good with the right color combo.
