Another note to consider having to do with, or should I say, do away with esthetics.
Cars with Vinyl tops both add weight and wind drag on the same token high on the car. Plus not to mention the corrosion that it may hide for years.
My car shed 6 Lbs from the deletion of the Vinyl material and trim. Yes, you read right, when I acquired the car, the previous owner/s had installed a tacky vinyl top to the car and painted the interior and front/rear bumpers the color Gold.
