I am in Florida [read hot all year round] I had the lexan top on when I got the car and immediately went looking for a solid painted top...I found on on FlEbay and bought it...shipping was a bit of a pain (built box, and had a nice CF member pick it up for me and drop it off for shipping). Moral to the story is- the painted top makes the car considerably quieter and the "green-house" affect is all but gone!

I have both and I swap them back and forth. Last year it was the Lexan top and this year will be the painted top. Almost makes me feel that I have two vettes. Each changes the appearance from a sporty color contrasting look to a classic hard top look. I love em both

But still Painted is my choice.

Same here, plus It's getting thin on top.
