I too opted for the exposed carbon roof. I had an upper limit on price, but went with it for a couple of reasons. I already decided to go the 2LT trim, as a little more leather and built-in nav were not items I desired. I also went with Z51 since you can't beat the bang for the buck on it. As mine would be a long term daily driver, I skipped the mag ride, fearing maintenance/replacement costs once the warranty was up. And I passed on the dual mode exhaust, figuring there will soon be many aftermarket systems with equal or better sound to choose from and for similar money. That left me a couple large to work with, and I figured the exposed carbon top would be WAY more expensive to buy later. For the unique and upscale look it brings to the Stingray, I feel it's money well spent.

Everyone will have their own perspective on this, but ultimately it boils down to what makes YOU happy. I made my option choices to make me happy, not a single other person, and haven't regretted a single thing! Just have fun with the order and the Stingray once you get it!
