body side moldings
Can anyone confirm for certain if body color side moldings (some people call them bump strips) were available in 1985? I have an 85 Trans Am and they are red but in most pictures I see of just about any 85 TA that has them, they are black. I am guessing mine were black but were painted red at some point after delivery from the factory.
Any insight would be appreciated.

The moldings were an option. I have seen many 85 cars that did not have the moldings because they were black and the owner added the correct color moldings after 86.
