Black top or colored top?

I prefer the black top on mine. It gets to hot with the tinted top for me.

I use the blue top November thru February. The red painted top the rest of the year. The blue top is lighter and not as rigid but I can't really tell the difference when driving.I can definitely tell the difference in the suns rays here in Florida.

I’ll put the glass top on the car every once in awhile to break things up but the black cars got the best of both worlds,transparent top but dark so it doesn’t break up the look of the car.

My first C4 was an Artic white 96. It came with just the painted top. I purchased a blue tinted top from Astro Tops and used it exclusively until the top started to separate on the left drivers corner. My second car was a black 91 that I used the bronze tinted top in spring time only. Summer and winter I switched to the painted top. My current Z is a Turquoise car with the blue tinted top. I have yet to use the painted top on the car. Another observation I found was that the tinted tops make the radio sound a bit more trebly. The painted top with the headliner absorb sound waves verses the tinted top bouncing the waves around.

I like bouncing waves!

Looking at my build sheet, seems mine was just ordered with the clear top. Which is what I have. I would love a Solid Polo green top, but now I like the look of the clear top.

And DAMN did I learn a lesson Easter Sunday!!! After doing the family brunch, I decided to take the top off and go for a cruise. Well I had parked in the sun, and WOW!!!! That top was hotter than a whore on dollar day lol....I can't imagine you guys with the all black interior in the summer.

If I had the black top I would probably like that better in the summer here in TX.

You should get a tint for your clear top.

Tint for the top is on my list of things to do. I had thought about doing a carbon fibre wrap on the top and the remainder fo the roof, but it may look a bit too "modern" so to speak.
