I put a blue tint top on my polo green '95. In the sun, you can't really tell the difference. You will probably notice the same results with the one you are looking at.

They only came in two tints, blue and bronze.
And from the outside looking in, they both look black.
Factory tops from 1989 - 1996 have the same mounting brackets.

The fit '90 - '92 isn't an issue.
Just "maybe" there will be a portion of the VIN displayed on the front of the left rail on the top. Here's one from a '96:
That might look familiar to "RollaMo-LT4"

The OP has a '92, and they use the same mounting as the '90 top that he is looking at.

Make sure you do because if not you can easily overlook the crazing of the tops regardless of color. Check the exterior for the protective coating showing signs of deteriorating, scratches and mars and minor cracks at edges that will become major before you maybe even get it home. Check the frame for cracks also.
