Yes the black strip between the doors is a vinyl application. So if you do take them off at any point that will be factory paint underneath. Seeing how well it’s matched probably wouldn’t notice anyways.
You did a fine job bringing it back to life and in better shape than the day it was built.
Wow! Lookin good. Few things, the taillights on that are LED type with bliss sensors that are tied to your vehicle. You will most likely have a Christmas tree dash turning it over if they’re not present. The modules are removable though. So you don’t like the stock lights?

I’m still on stock tires as well. Will probably go same size or slightly wider when I get new shoes on her. I was going with Ford Performance Fox shocks 2.0 if and when I pull the trigger. Better suited for my needs. I will do all 4 when I do upgrade though.
