Getting ready to order a white vinyl top . Question is what are the differences in grain. I see Dante's have boar grain or levant grain, what is the difference . The old top was what I would call a courser grain. Also how do you determine if it was white or pearl white ?.

I was just looking in "Mighty Mopars" by Anthony Young and it says "an optional vinyl roof was availible in antique white also".

Note that the convertible top grain is different from the hardtops.
