Hey guys, getting to the interior portion of the resto. Question, are the convertible hinge covers suppose to be the exterior color of the car or the interior color? PO had them Olympic Blue (exterior) but the interior is all in black, which also might be appropriate. Wondering how they came from factory?

Looks like a lot of impressive information but I am not sure what it is telling me!

The plastic hinge covers I got with the car I just bought were well past their time. I just bought fiberglass hinge covers in white, and I may paint them whatever color I end up painting the car.

I think it might help tie the exterior and interior together.
