Looks way better than the current transparent roof option.

You've got something here, looks great.

Before i painted the A-pillars on my C7, i really liked how the car looked with the transparent top on

Great color overall, too.

Leads me to ask the question: Why make a stunning Corvette look like a Ferrari 458/488?

Looks cheesy and doesnt go with the body lines of the car. Looks home made and not factory at all.

Default Yes yes yes - do it ! I will !
LQQKS GREAT! I was playing with it too and came up with the same design. Any idea if the wrap will stay on the targa roof if you take it on and off alot? I was worried about the edges mainly.

Nice design. It's just like my paint renditions except yours looks more professional. You convinced me to go this way.

Thanks for your rendition.

Actually, Ferrari, lamborghini and McLaren offer black roof options as simply a different look and style. I don't think any of them are trying to "be" the other.

Yeah, that looks good. Makes it looks lower, sleeker and more exotic.

I'd like to see the same on rapid blue.

Yep, I like it. But how does it go from the rear side window to where it meets the top of the rear window? There’s no panel gap to wrap around. Does it just end in the middle of a panel?
