Default Would you have any interest in a red convertible top?

I was curious if folks would be interested in red as a C7 vert top color?

I actually took the pic of the Porsche in Carmel, CA last year. I didn't like it much but heard some Porsche fans going on about it.

Maybe if you had the Lime Rock Green vert you could do a Christmas theme with the red top.

There may be a material problem with white because most white tops are made out of vinyl-like material rather than the cloth-like material found on Corvettes.

If nothing else, the white would like nice on the Arctic White cars. All the Corvette top colors look nice, but people in Michigan forget how hot it can get inside a convertible with a black top and black seats in the desert.

Save the red for Iranian proctologists anxious to be seen in some Teutonic Turtle clone.

I currently have a TR C5 vert with a black top and I love it and so does everyone else. In MHO only, a red top would look horrible.

Red fades more and faster than any other colors, so, in a couple years you'll have a pink top!
