I seen a C4 at a car show last year that had his top, rockers and front spoiler wrapped in carbon fiber and I thought it looked pretty good.. He said it cost him 750. The car was black so there wasn't a huge contrast in colors but it was different but didn't look out of place per say...

I found this yellow Z online with the black top and black halo.

Click to the right for the photo album.

I am 99% sure I am going to wrap my halo black.

The new 18's are on the car!!!

I purchased a blow dryer off e-bay but it is too weak and need to get a stronger one to heat up the wrap material.

Painted top. When I got the car, the painted top was not included, so I bought one and had it painted.

Use solid most of the time. Clear is too hot. I live in a desert

My car had two tops when I bought it with 3Kmi. in 94'. But I'm a "coupe guy". I kept the white body color top and left the "see through" black one with the dealer for $500.00. That top has never been off the car in 27 years, except for cleaning and adjustment.
A see through top is a poor choice here in the Florida heat with the C4 ZR-1's feeble air conditioning. Too flexible also. JMHO.

I prefer the red top from a look perspective, but at 6'4, I do enjoy the extra room the clear one offers.
