Who has transparent tops?
I am looking to get a good used lexan top. Hoping you guys can give some advice on what to buy. I read somewhere that the Astro tops are not as good as OEM. Also, what is a good target price for used? Any help would be awesome.

I've had both tops for my last three Corvette's. This will be the last time I do that option. I got the way I never use the glass top, it's way to hot here in Houston for me to enjoy it. I've had the glass top on my 2004 coupe only about three times.

There are usually a few used ones for sale here on the forum (C5 Parts for Sale section). Many are virtually unused and can be bought anywhere from $400-600. The only problem is the shipping as you have to carefully pack the top to prevent any damage in transit.

I have the origingal glass top from my 1992. Been in my garage for a few years. I live in Louisville, Ky. 40223.
I still have the Vette - eighteen years and 186,000+ mi. My wife encourages you to buy this perfect (almost) glass top, that is proped in our garage near her treadmill.
You can pm me at tblackburn@live.com. Don't have a set price , but "we" would like to sell this top.
Today, I purchased new wheels and tires from www.oewheelsllc.com. I realize oewheels is a controversial seller and the purchase was a calculated risk on my part. The knowledge of the phone-seller and the price and reviews on this forum were irrestible to me. I will report on my buying experience on the "oewheelslle" thread.
I look for a new car whenever I need new tires for this old Vette. I have test driven the alternatives and today I bought new wheels and tires for the car that still trips my trigger.
