Poll: solid or glass top?
Since I bought my baby (july 05) I've only had the solid top. I just got a transparent top off Ebay($350 shipped, cha-ching!) and man, I love the difference! The panoramic view is great and I don't think I'm going to put the solid top back on(even though I think it looks better with a color matched top). I noticed the heat difference though, so I custom cut a windshield sun shade and put some suction cups on it, which helps when it's parked
. Which top do you use the most??

Fitment is key here.
