Well Worth It !
 

My transparent top stays on all the time.The painted top stays stored and hasn't seen daylight in years ! I live in the Sunny South and the interior NEVER gets hot enought to put the painted top on.I Love being able to see the stars at night through my roof !:thumbs:

:iagree:TX Vette has stated my sentiments perfectly.

Tops
 

I only use the transparent top. My CRM top is wrapped in blamkets and put away.

My 07 did not come with one. I bought one off a local member for $700 and it stayed on my car for nearly a year. It is lighter than the solid top so I ended up taking the top off much more. The only reason the solid top is back on my car now is because the dealer replaced my glass top because of the spiderwebbing and it's soooo clean compared to the rest of my car. :D Once I get the car nice and clean the clear top is going back on.

Me 2. I used to swap my tops depending on season, but I don't have a problem with heat using the transparent top here in Md. I like it a lot, but it was expensive. I would buy it again:crazy:eddie

Curiosity question for those that bought their car new with both tops.

How much was "dual top option" on the sticker?

Also does anyone know what what a glass top goes for without hardware?
I have a friend that has one that I tried to sell for him on here for $700 shipped, but was told that was High.
It's a brand new top that came with his car but he wanted the painted top so they swapped all hardware over for him at time of purchase.

Still wanting to help him out so need to know what is reasonable.

Love mine...use it 8 months out of a year!:thumbs::cool:

:iagree: I have both and only use my transparent one. Painted top has been mostly sitting for the past 2 years.... I really like the look of the black top with the VR paint...

Mine came with both tops and I use them both. The transparent top in the winter and the solid for the summer. I agree it does change the look when you swap them :thumbs:

My car came with both tops too, and I change them every six months. It changes the look of the car.

I have both. Ended up buying the transparent separately brand new from Chev. parts for $800.
I prefer the painted top because of better insulation and keeps the car cooler.
The transparent top looks better on Corvette.

:iagree:

It is the only top I own for our new Vette and the only one I use for our C5:cheers:

Since I have a Yellow I definitely did NOT want the transparent roof, but that's just me.

I opted not to take the transparent roof when I bought mine this week, even though the seller was offering it to me at a great price. With the tinted windows I enjoy looking out and people not being able to look in...it's an odd sensation driving that I really really enjoy.

I have both & never have never used the paint top.
