I am a big fan of sun roofs or in the case of the C7, transparent top. Sure I can take the top off but on those days when I don't feel like it I can still see the sky.

Maybe it's just the pilot in me

I'm not a pilot but I do understand liking the polycarb top. Had it on the C6 and loved it.

In the summer it is nice to have the solid top when temps get very high, otherwise the transparent top works very well. Just depends on whether you feel you'll really use both tops enough to justify the extra expense.

Transparent top older only on my 16 Z order... Goes great on the DSOM, and I like the feel of "sunroof" while not having all the open air noise.

I have the Exposed CF roof w/ Transparent panel package and love it. Changes the look and feel of the car. Plus it is a value add when you sell/trade it.
