I bought a White one from someone on EBay 3 years ago for $300. They had a C% with both tops and never used the solid so they put it on Ebay. NEver used, $300. Cost me $125 to have it painted Electron Blue.

Funny thing, NOW I hardly ever use it......

Thought I would but never do.

Probably the most common cost on the C5 parts for sale section is about $500 for one in excellent condition. New they cost about $1300-1400 from a dealer.

I have a slightly damaged (paint discoloration) hard top, and hood for my c5, and would like to re paint it in the original Torch Red. I would appreciate any suggestions. I was on vacation and came back to find my car vandalized. I suspect maybe egg stained.

$125. to get the top painted doesnt sound too bad. I see ads in Corvette Fever for C5 hardtops from Astrotops. A new product,they already had clear c5 tops. I did not see it on their web site yet. So I was going to call800-239-2659.Im looking for the same thing.

Replaced mine with a new factory setup, after painting the bill was $2200.00..... That was all due to joining the flying roof club! Good thing I had insurance.
