Hi, I just bought a 1976 914 2.0 that has the appearance group. It has the fog lights, armrest, center console, etc, but there's no vinyl on the roof sail panels. The trim is all blacked out and there's a piece of trim on the pillar along the bottom of where the trim would normally have been. I figured someone had just removed the vinyl, but I haven't been able to find any cars with the vinyl and black trim. There also isn't any vinyl under the roof and I haven't found any evidence of its removal. I read somewhere that there was a vinyl delete option. Has anyone ever heard of this? I've looked in a few books and done many searches but haven't found anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Targa bar vinyl and clear-anodized aluminum trim at the Targa bar and windshield trim was standard on 1976 914s.

Obviously your car has some PO modifications in that they removed the vinyl and painted the trim black. Look at the 914 right next it in the photo for the stock configuration.
