c4 split window
I have 4 C4s and would like to get a 63 split window one day but the price I could not afford, therefore I am thinking about converting my 85 to a split window. Is this stupid or not?

Putting a split on a C4 is a pretty dumb idea. It's still a C4.
Now if you really like C2s, then keep your favorite C4, sell the other 3 and see if you can swing a 64 coupe - the least expensive year of the C2s.

I have to side with stupid. Any time you try to make something into something that it is not, stupid will happen.
Now, print the above text and hang it in your garage. Think of me whenever you don't sink money into something stupid and then have money for beer.

Since you asked, Yes!
The only way to go.
And I can't afford one either, so I don't have one.
My '96 will never be anything other than what it is.

Wait for a 63. Let the c4 be what it is. These split window aftermarket products look horrible

The photos look terrible posted previously! But I don't know... If you have some time and money to make a proper modification like that, it might be very cool! I would study a bunch of split-window cars from different angles and then put yourself in the shoes of an automotive designer tasked with the same question.
..."How do I make a split window on this car that looks factory GM? How can it be made to not look added on?"
Too many people get these sorts of ideas and then just slap on the mod with lousy results. The fact you "considered" a sticker means you need to up the ante a lot or put it out of your mind. A sticker or anything that just lays on the rear hatch will embarrass you to no end. And you'll get crap from everyone you know... Except people who owe you money and your pastor, perhaps.

It looks like the car is wearing a thong. Hideous.
