well clear smokey colored. you can see through it but offers protection from the sun like a sun roof / moon roof does.

So put a sunroof in the targa.

It's possible to have a lighter targa top that's lighter than stock... CF or FB with an aluminum skeleton... it's just going to cost you a TON.

As for rigidity when the top is out, a lot of people have built X braces to mount in place of the roof piece for additional support.
