Would you accept one for a different color?

I figured that was what you were talking about. DS Vettes is supposed to be working on one as are other vendors. Nothing available as of yet. If you found one for a C6, that might work as a temporary solution.

I ended up selling/trading my transparent roof with a local member who had a matching car with the painted roof. With the summer heat here in So. Cal, I didn't want to deal with a hot roof that was a nightmare to handle in the heat. In 85* temps, that roof was hot enough to burn my hands making it a bear to get off. I never looked up through the transparent top anyways so it's not missed for me.
