I have a solid top (I'm bald and worried about sunburn) and both the top and the pillar (halo ?) are painted gloss black as is the rear.

Never even noticed the back. Looks like a completely different color car if seen only in the rear.
Another off topic question, how's the vette tow. Always seems like a taboo here on the forum to pull anything. Don't know how much the speeder weighs, but i considered pulling a jet ski with mine, total weight around 800 lbs, tongue weight around 85. How much does the speeder weigh, or the riding lawn mower?

My trailer hitch is from Draw Tite and is rated at 2,000 pounds. It is nicely engineered but does require driling a few holes. I had it installed at a local hitch shop and they had no problems.
As I mentioned eariler, I have no problems at all towing my trailer with a lawnmower on it. It is low and more or less out of the air stream. The speeder is a giant air brake and drops my gas milage down to 11 or 12 mpg at highway speeds.
