My glass top arrived today safe and sound from Gene at GM Parts House. I’m glad that I took advantage of his August special - $1099 (hardware and shipping included). The top was shipped fast and packed well. All that I had to do was un-pack it and put it on. Thank you Gene – I will be back!!


Now the big question….

I love the top, but should I get the halo painted?? I will probably use the painted (Machine Silver) top during the summer and switch to glass in the winter – not sure what to do with the halo - I'm leaning towards leaving it alone, just not sure???

i have a machine silver with the same top that you just got..i wanted to paint the halo black....but after some thought and looking at pictures, i am not painting it....i like how the silver breaks up the the top of the car. my .02

I like the silver halo better.

I have the machine silver and when I purchased the car it only had the glass top, so I blacked out the halo. I eventually purchased a black top to match the halo for the summers.

I think that with a black roof panel and halo, the lines flow better and isn't broken up by a silver vertical line (halo).

Obviously, I Agree!!

I like the all-black top on the silvers/grays, but am not that crazy about with the other colors.

I like the blacked out Halo, you can use you top year around get one of those sun blockers one of the vendors sale and you are golden

Looks great and thanks for sharing

I vote for the black halo with your solid top painted to match. gr86ss and DriverC6's pictures look great!

Looks good on the light colors like silver and white, maybe on bright red, but not the darker ones, especially not dark blue.

Thank you for your business. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Being that I came over from many years of Fbody ownership, the look is kind of played out for me. And if you're going to run the silver top in the summer, it'd look stupid unless you painted it black as well.

I just think of this when I see C6's painted this way, but to each his own...

Too

Leave it Silver. I like the Targa look.

Readygo

I like the black halo with your roof

gbgary

i like both but for me it's the unblacked-out look.

I like either way as well, even on red.

Can you do me a favor? Would you weigh the glass top and compare it with the weight of your painted top? I have injuries to both of my wrists. The main reason I would purchase the glass top is that I understand it is lighter than the painted top. But, by how much? Thanks to anyone who can respond with reasonably accurate weights.
