Both tops weigh 41.12 pounds
Together 
. I had some free time so I went to the UPS store as using the bathroom scale showed both tops weighing the same, 21 lbs. Turns out the transparent one is lighter at 20.22 pounds. The painted one weighs 20.90 pounds. I still have my painted top from my Anniversary Red C5 so I took that along and although it is smaller, it weighs more at 21.86 pounds. Pics below.

"Everything you thought you wanted to know about the C6 targa tops . . .". j/k
Nice report, Frank. Hope someone saves the link to this thread, because I'm sure it will come up again.

Jim, I'm going to save the link. 
It's sure to come up again.
Even though the C6 top is lighter, because of the bigger size, it is harder to handle.

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure what I'll use it for, but it is nice to know.
