I bought a nice clear top on CL for my C5 and a shop here in town is going to give me $175 for my old nasty one. See if there is a place close to you that does this.

I have an unused and GM bubble wrapped/labelled perfect condition solid top for my 95 , came with the blue acrylic one when I got it , tried both. Ended up re wrapping the solid top. The Blue acrylic top I have has some stress marking , but it makes the car look a LOT roomier with it on , increases heat load tho but the "open" feel is worth it.
Also looks better than the solid white top , creaks more tho and is less of a "structural" member with it on IMO. I'll stick with my blue acrylic till the car is sold on.
