...when it comes to what's over my head in the '91.
Nothing at all, targa brace, acrylic or painted top. I think I've gotten more use out of the targa truss already this year than the last couple combined. Nothing at all is mostly fer just lookin' at. I like to baby the acrylic top and in summer it's hot. The painted one is the most practical. Good for trips and everyday driving.

I liked my tinted top on the 90 and had a filter for it but it was still hot in the summer. My C5 was ordered with 2 tops but by the time I got it I only have the painted one and I don't mind it at all.

Last year my targa brace was on about 90% of the time - love it. I bought one of those Fox RainCoat fabric tops used a while back and planned to have it fitted so that it would work over the brace in a pinch, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Sure...rub it in! I usually drive with the top off if I can. The acrylic one sure does get hot in the summer.

agree, I always thought I'd like to have one though.. but really not worth it for the price for me anyway... I wouldn't mind having the targa truss though... I wish our '02 had the painted top though, even thought it almost never leaves the MIL's garage... -=Rick |

My car came only with the painted top. Did they come from the factory with 2 standard or was that an option?

When I shopped for my vette 7 years ago I purposefully avoided considering any convertibles. Verts, I felt, made the driver (me) the center of attention. I wanted to avoid that and maintain the CAR as the center, with me controlling it & owing it in the 'background'. Does that make any sense?

It was an option. Not sure if it was available on the early years, maybe. |
