Default Blue or Bronze Glass Top?

Picking up an Admiral Blue ZR1 this friday!

Need to order a glass top as the car doesnt come with one.

Just got off the phone with Melrose and they told me that both blue and bronze tops will look black from the outside.

My question is, which tint is easier on the eyes on sunny days?

I have used the blue top on all three ZR-1's I have owned. My current top came from Melrose and I have been pleased with their product and customer service.

Our Admiral Blue ZR-1 has the blue glass, and we also had blue on our old white on red 91 ZR-1. The sky is always blue then [emoji16]
