There is a glass top available, as well as a painted top

If you can see through it (blue tint) then it is a Lexan plastic top. There are no "glass" tops. The other top would be a solid body color matched one.

Actually, I think they were all meant to be FRC's, but someone messed up on the assembly line.

From the factory, the C5 coupe came standard with the solid roof panel. However, either of 2 options could be specified when ordering. RPO CC3 replaced the solid roof panel with the translucent panel. RPO C2L included both the solid and translucent panels.

Check out my sig pic for my favorite roof panel.

BTW, welcome to the Forum

Hmmmmm. Looks like a Photoshopped pic over a Dana Forrester print. Nice.

Great looking car, but your roof is missing.

If you can see through the top, it is a glass one. Otherwise, you would have the fiberglass top, which comes with a headliner.
