::Paging Jeff Kopp::
Can you give me some info on how much a new top for my 94 White Vette, and anything else to know? Lets just say I did something really incredibly stupid and wants to have it fixed as SOON as possible.
Thanx, Turner

The glass tops are about $1250 new from GM. I had one replaced last year by insurance. Not sure about the painted tops or what price Jeff can get you. :) His email is parts@superchevyperformance.com

The solid tops come in bare white fiberglass and have to be painted. When I asked Jeff if his shop would paint it before they shipped it to me, he said that they just couldn't do that any more, because they couldn't match the paint.
I said "Not even black?" :D. but he said no...
When you check, make sure you ask for a complete top. Apparently you can screw up and order a bare frame, or a frame and lens with no weatherstrip, etc. I think you have to specify the headliner and trim for the inside of the solid top, too. But I don't know for sure - my car only has the clear top and I've never seen C4 solid top up close.
Get a factory replacement. I have an AstroTop right now, that only cost $400 after exchange, but it's just not as good as my OEM.

Re: (scorp508)
I think I saw another post by you saying you got your top replaced by
insurance and I think we have the same insurance (JH). Even though it
wasn't "glass" they replaced it?? Did you get sent to a glass company, or
a dealer for replacement, or did they send you a check?? They could save
money if they send a check (replacement (blue tint) from Jeff is ~$960 :yesnod:
