    Very Nice Maverick, Grabber351. BTW, What size wheels and tires you running? And do you have a close up of the wheel?

    The wheels are 14X7 American Racing "Black mods" just a fairly cheap steel wheel. I don't think Amirican racing makes them anymore, but someone does. The tires are 215-70-14's rebranded coopers.

    Kinda dirty, just walked out to the garage and took the picture.

    Your LDO looks great with the top and trim. It's like a Luxomod. Classy hipo. Kinda like the difference between a Mustang GT and Cougar XR7.

    I voted to get rid of the top and moldings , before I read everyone elses responses....
    But by the time I took into account some of the points that were made I`d like to CHANGE my vote at this time to : Keep the vinyl top and moldings .

    They are cool because they are different than what most cars have and set it apart from the crowd:)

    I had the black ones years ago, and I love the look. No one makes them anymore, just the chrome ones, which Idon't really care for...
