Sam (Bones) Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 the only trim you'll find is used, no one is making the top trim that I know of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 go and buy yourself a cloth wheel to go on a bench grinder and add some polishing compound to the wheel ...buff and buff and buff some more, and it should come up shiny as new...that is what I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.E Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I used metal polish and 0000 steel wool and they came out fine but if you need the clips they really don sel the right ones you need the center lock one ran into that last week on mine after putting the vinyl top on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I polished mine too. I wasn't worried about being original with them so off came the accent paint. But you could repaint them to original if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Freak Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I had a feeling they didn't make any new trim for the top based on my answers from suppliers, figured id ask here just incase. Guess ill be taking the trim off my parts car very carefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe72 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Pretty much what the other members have said, best bet is to polish the heck outta them. I also did not repaint the accent paint to mine,kinda looks better IMO. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess ill be taking the trim off my parts car very carefully  Stainless pieces come off easily with a putty knife. Slip under and gently pry up. Pot metal pieces at lower corners by the trunk have a nut, inside the trunk, holding them. Easy to break the stud off trying to loosen nut.

Jared Richey Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 No, no reproductions on vinyl top trim at all. I hope they never make it, I have enough I need to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.E Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Repainted mine didn't like it so polished it back off and last week after new top was put on put polished ones on.Ordered some clips they sent wrong ones again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
