Default No body color roof?

Looks like ZR1 doesn't offer body color roof.

Has anyone compared with regular C7 to see if roofs are swappable?

Not a fan of the black roof and hood cutout.

I would imagine they're the same but get someone to swap with you as from the dealer its like 6k as even painted ones are supposedly carbon fiber according to rick conti.

All roofs for all C7 coupes are the same size across the board. Same mounting points, hardware, dimensions etc...

Every C7 roof is carbon fiber for least weight. Only exceptions are the translucent ones.

Interestingly... I stumbled across this video of a ZR-1 with an all red roof. I wonder if they just tossed a normal C7 roof on some of these early test cars. Skip ahead to 1:40:

Yes, they did. If you look at some of the prototypes and pre-production ZR1s in the C7 ZR1 Registry, you'll see that some of them wore body colored roof panels, and carbon flash badges.
