It also needs a new shifter knob, the numbers inside the plastic have faded. Seat backs and the driver's side rear interior panel will most likely need replacing too - just oxidized/chalked over time.
As I recall,ALL 79-81 Trans ams & Formula's came with the black window trim,however,it appears that they never bothered prepping (scuffing) the shiny trim prior to painting it black.

That's why the paint came off.

I had an 80 full ,load Turbo Trans am brand new & the window trim looked like your Formula does when it was 2 years old.
