Same question here......putting order in for my blade silver and on the fence about stock top or transparent. My 2011 Grand Sport had it and on a sunny day after a few hours was super hot inside. Did not have any sun blocking at all, although it was tinted some. Suggestions?

I have a 2010 ZR1 that is Blade Silver and I think the carbon fiber roof really shows nicely and keeps you cool inside.

there are films you can apply to the panel that will reject most of the infrared.

I couldn't decide, so I got both!

I love the transparent one in the winter, and think I'll appreciate the carbon fiber in the summer.
