I've never seen a black/carbon fiber glass top.

Do you mean the Transparent Top? It isn't glass, it's plastic.

bad timing.... I just bought a transparent top from a guy in LA and he had to ship it to me.... if you had posted this about 3 weeks ago you'd have been in luck.

lucky for me though....

And don't forget you still have to add/install all the hardware... the factory roof is just the shell (inner/outer). You will need to purchase weatherstrips, retainers, plates, shims, covers, handles, brackets, latch, bolts, and washers.

The latch, the 2 handles, and the pair of side weatherstrips are the priciest of the components... that rear latch is nearly $300 retail and it's one of the two carryover parts from the C6! Attached is the parts/components scans for reference. In the first scan, you will need to order all components except #3 and 10 since it comes already installed on the transparent top. In the second scan, you will need to order #3, 4, 21, and 22 only.

It all adds up to at least another $650+ unless you decide to transfer all the components from your existing roof panel (which will make one unusable).
