Transparent Roof.

ONEighty · 04-24-2011, 04:57 PM

T-top Vettes come with transparent roofs, they probably just painted it, but I don't get how that works? I know you can colorcode the taillights to the car and when they light up, you can see light through it... but I don't see how you'd be able to clearly see through a painted surface.

Edit, I highly doubt the roof you saw was painted AND transparent. Transparent roofs only come in a black tint, it nearly looks painted from the outside, this would be impossible with paint. What you saw was a blue vette w/ the transparent roof option.

exactly, I had one, although it was black and matched my black car. although the tinting is blue, and maybe under the right lighting conditions it can look blue too.
