Hey Tav, How's married life treating you? Good I hope!

I think you are correct on the Windshield header but like you I'm not sure about the A pillar cap. The A Pillar trim is molded in a color (Mine need freshening so I will redye mine). My side trim looks like satin or suede but I think it is because it is faded. Aesthetically, I guess the later models looked a little nicer than having the contrasting gloss finishes butting up against each other.
