Great points, thank you! Mine currently has the blue top on it (albeit with the factory paper/label inside), but my windows are not tinted. I am used to my '96 which does have tinted windows and solid top - that car will freeze me out. I will definitely remember this on the Z and change the tops out at some point. Now that it's getting cooler though, probably not an issue for a while.
Now just to get the *#@(*(!&!^&! windshield taken care of, whenever I can get one!
