I used to get the dual top option. But the last few cars I have just gone with the transparent top. I have had the supplemental piece to block the Sun but anymore I dont use them. I like the transparent top as it gives me extra head room. In picking between the transparent top and the painted top, I vote for the transparent top.

I didn't even buy the painted top, and I live in sunny San Diego. I use a windshield sunblocker, and before I get into the car after it's been in the sun all day, I open the hatch, and the hot air escapes. Yes, some of the interior surfaces are still warm, but A/C does the job.
tin foil on the inside and form it in.

I also have both and use the transparent top in the Spring and Fall and use the painted top in the Summer. Works out great and the Vette looks like a different car when I change them out.On another note, the painted top is heavier and better insulated so road noise is reduced vs. the transparent top.

BTW Do Ferrari and Porsche have two kinds of tops for the same car like Corvette does? Maybe they don't have to differentiate?
