NON-BODY COLOR ROOFS:
I think it's just hard to see in this low resolution photo. You can't blow it up adequately to see glass or CF tops clearly. And the tops aren't distinguishable on the dark paint colors. So we are left looking at the bright colors. Yellows and whites are easiest. Torch red gives you a moderately good shot at finding them depending on the light and shadows. Laguna Blue is somewhat guesswork. Anything darker than that can't be made out.
Since these wouldn't be convertibles yet, anywhere you don't see a bright body color blob on the roof, it should be a CF or transparent panel. In my crude blow up, I circled my guesses in just the main lot lineup. Interestingly, not a single yellow. But plenty of whites (including mine!).

Look at the whole photo. There are some 'Verttes top left. Not in the one you (or someone) cropped.

Didn't forget either of those. Made a conscious decision not to include them. Black is too difficult to spot, since the body color = CF color at this distance and resolution. And I said that I chose just the main lot lineup. I didn't want to guess what might be different about the ones up at the top left of the original (one person thought they might be early convertibles in one of the threads on the forum). This is not an all-inclusive absolute indicator of every CF/glass panel that has been made. It's just an attempt to demonstrate that some of them are out there!

These are some cool images. All those vettes lined up like that kind of makes the corvette look like toys. haha. I saw a Suburu factory during the hight of the automotive low...it was just like this, but the numbers were much higher; like a couple 1000.

I know that another forum member has a Torch Red already built for the Shreveport area, so those three cars in line are coming in my direction.

you've certainly got the right idea !
another is Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) in Venice. More pigeons than people...
