Default Transparent Roof

The C8 “Visualizer” initially showed the transparent roof with a body color strip along the edge shared by the side window. I looked at the transparent roof on the Visualizer a few days ago and the body color strip is gone. Can you verify that the body color is truly gone, and if it is, can it come back? The body color allows the eye to scan the roof line without interruption. It is smoother and not disjointed. From a design sense, it makes all the difference.

If the color strip strip is gone, is there enough paintable material to have a dealer create the strip? This leads to a question of money. Are you charging enough for a properly designed transparent roof?

Thank you,

Rich in Orange County, CA. Current holder of a C8 reservation that will be my 4th Vette.
