Had some clown on instagram arguing with me that the Supra vents were functional and all you had to do was replace the stock caps. "I'm A MecHanIC!" he says...
I'm like... dude... they may serve a FUNCTION, but work needs to get put into it. You need to cut pannels. Like the one in the door for instance. That just leads to the door jam, you gotta CUT to make that functional. YEAH BUT.... my whole argument was that they weren't functional unless you basically took everything apart. |

IIRC, when the GR Supra first released, some reviewers pointed out the fake vents and a Toyota rep said or hinted that there would be future models where the vents were functional.
Definitely agree that the fake vents are a bit of an eyesore on what I think is a good looking car otherwise. Still waiting for one of those hi-po Supra models to drop! Quote:

That wasn't the reason behind my choice of the Z4 over the Supra though. Mostly it was brand and convertible. I couldn't stand by getting another Toyota. I liked the oomph that comes with saying I drive a BMW. I also love the top down freedom. |

I discovered my twin parked beside me upon my return from the Scott AFB Commissary today. The photo shows a decent representation of the difference between the standard soft top and my Moonlight Black soft top.

It looks like the moonlight soft top shows less wrinkles than the standard.

Was the only change to what I was prepared to order. Took the shot so I have been driving it since March 2020. Its a very good top just not worth saving the $250 over the moonlight.

Still see more Supras than Z4 by a large factor. Daily driver in HOU, and rarely see one of us. (Oh, and about to have my 4th windshield installed in a few days---eff HOU road debris and falling crap that seems to target my glass--but thankfully only my glass). |

Thank you StanDiego for the side by side picture of regular and moonlight roofs.
I’m adding the moonlight roof option to my order thanks to you. I’d recommend you post it in a thread with the moonlight roof topic so that other prospective buyers can find it. Does the moonlight roof reduce the sun heat absorption into the cabin by a significant amount compared to the regular roof? |

Regarding heat absorption, I have no idea, hadn't even contemplated that. I doubt if it makes a significant difference but, having some silver in it, I'd think it would reflect some amount of sunlight from the interior (and absorb less heat). |

Interesting to know the moonlight roof doesn't reduce the heat absorption into the cabin. I'll option it regardless, based on looks alone. Thanks.
