Default Question about tops

My 92 has the bronze top that I assume is origional. When checking out my Bro-in-laws 90 Vette, he has the blue tinted top. His I can see through pretty good, bout like a pair of sunglasses. Mine you can't see through at all. Well I can only dimly see the sun at best. Would be excellent to watch a solar eclipse.

Are the bronze tops supposed to be that dark or has mine just gotten darker over the years?

I could take a pic but don't think it would explain it any better. But I did check my RPO codes and the car origionally came with the blue tinted roof. So either the blue faded to bronze over the years, or it isn't the origional top. Kinda believe the latter.

Are you sure someone did not put window tint on the inside of the top?
