Last week on my way to work I saw something similiar that made me question my vision.... I saw a 73 vette with a pep-boys pop up sunroof and I thought to myself that all vettes Ive seen of that year were t-top or convertible so i pulled up closer to it and saw that this guy had put one of those aftermarket pop up sunroofs into his convertible hard top......

What's the possible justification? Is it just an attempt to look cool?

I dunno'....I kinda' like the white one.

With the rotten ventilation system these C4's have, I can almost see why someone would put a functional roof scoop on his.
