Default Removable Targa Top Preference?

I'm going to order a new targa top for my 1994 coupe. The one on there now has the blue tint and I really like it but it's beat up pretty bad and has deep rock chips similar to what a cracked windshield looks like. Plus the incoming heat of Arizona on it's way I'd like to get it replaced.

I know this is very subjective but curious on what you guys think of the blue tint vs the bronze tint?

Thanks in advance for any advice you have!

Josh

My 94 came with a bronze tinted top, but shortly after I bought the car I found a used factory Torch Red top on eBay in excellent condition and snagged it. Much better for here in Phoenix, IMO. The clear ones are brain-bakers. That said, as far as the clear ones go, I do think the bronze tinted looks better with Torch Red paint than the blue tinted. YMMV

Yeah, the clear tops are cranium-cookers here in Indiana too. I did like you did...I nabbed a solid top on ebay just before I painted my car. It's a heck of a lot cooler in the cabin with it on there. Being asked to pick between bronze and blue, I would say blue for me...it really enhances the sky color.
