You might be looking at one. Gray? They only came in Blue or Bronze. If yours is gray it would have to be aftermarket.

It's blue - looks real dark from an angle. Getting old is a bitch.

So, does the bronze one look real dark too?

Thanks, I'd appreciate a photo. Trying to decide if it would look good on a silver car.

umm
it depends on your interior
from the outside all the tops look black they only look bronze or blue whenever you come real close to them and look at them in the sun.

what colors the interior on your CE? cuz the roofs color all depends on your interior.

How is the bronze top for heat in bright sun? I live in Denver and would like to get a clear top for spotting planes as much as anything, but have concerns because of the intense sun in the southwest.

Also, Jsailor24, I like your 2-tone paint. I have an '84 with tired dark bronze paint and thought of 2-toning it as yours is. Have you got any more pic's?
