no because they are painted black unlike the caprices which have vinyl, if you painted it black thats a different story, ive seen that done and it looks pretty good.

vinyl caprice-awesome fast g body cars.

vinyl camaro-some pour soul who listened to his ricer friend.

ive seen black roof and black on top of the soiler on a white t.a i thought it looked pretty sick. personally i just wouldnt do the whole vinyl thing and just paint it. if you dont like it scuff it back down and shoot it white.

I think that it would look great with the black roof. And they vinyl would last about 7-10 years.

If you get the roof band painted it would look good. Just getting the roof band wrapped in vinyl should be a no no. How about the Mirrors in Black as well? Or would that be a little too much? I think after the roof band & maybe mirrors you are set on the White/Black theme unless you decided to add some sort of stripes package.

btw.... if you make the roof black.... I think you need to change over to black side mirrors.

Are you talking about vinyl like decals or like convertable type material?
