My 2 cents on this roof situation: I went to order a painted roof last year for a customer that already had a clear one on his car. B the time it got shipped in, painted (they come in completely unfinished), and all the hardware added (all parts had to be individually ordered) the thing cost almost $3500. Back then you could get a clear roof from a parts dept for about $1200 of you could get hooked up. So I tell my customers now that if you may ever want a painted roof to go ahead and order it with the car because now that they're made out of CF they will probably run at least $5000 or more and the clear tops now list for $2100 so the clear one would be a little easier on the wallet down the road.
