What's Your Roof Top Preference?
 
I just put the glass roof panel on for the first time today and drove the Z to the office. Other than the fact that it has a few small cracks I cannot decide which roof I prefer on the car.

There seems to be pros and cons to each- The glass panel allows more road noise and the sun, while tempered, can still be a little annoying and casts a glare on the dash. But being 6'1" I do have more head room with the glass panel and it is nice to be able to see through it to the open sky.

Looks wise I just can't decide which looks better. I bet that when I get the the windows tinted to match the glass top it will look smokin. But the matching color roof looks so classic. :icon_scra

I am curious to everyone else's opinion on which top you prefer from both looks and driveability standpoints.

Thanks,
Peter

I prefer the look of the solid tops. So much so I had to go out and buy a fiberglass top since my car didn't have one when I got it!

I agree. I prefer the look of solid top also.
Quite a few years ago I was on I-95 South heading for Florida. Right near Jacksonville a 18 wheeler minus the trailer had a tread come off one of rear wheel and spun it up in the air right in front of me. Thanks to glass top I was able to keep an eye on it and maneuver to avoid being hit. An unsuspecting Taurus station wagon near me got hit and he was all over the place!

I like the painted top most but for a change the glass top looks good but the dark color of the glass top breaks up the body lines.If my car was black most likey I would use the glass top more.

I think the car looks best with the top off....

Got to go with the painted top. For me in the summer, keeps the car cooler.

Solid, around here the glass tops are like easy bake ovens.

Spring and fall I use the solid white top. Summer I switch to the dark blue........
