wasnt real sure which board to place this in. Its an item for sale, but lots of folks have expressed opinions on this custom touch..so here is one for sale, showing how its done/looks. Its a 63 split window on a 68/82 vette. Not mine,ect, love hearing/jeering of all the opinions.

I think it looks pretty cool. I'd be more apt to incorporate it if I had a hatchback glass car...I actually like the tunnel-window best of the three. So this option would be in the middle for me, personally.

Looks like a lot of work to incorporate. Appears you need to trim the tops of the fenders and blend into the window fiberglass. And I'm guessing that split-window glass (not fiberglass...the actual glass) would cost a bit.

I've driven a '63 many years ago and they should have renamed it from Split Window to Blind Spot. Aesthetically I like it. I wouldn't like the work it took to bind it to the car properly. I also think other C2 features should be incorporated or it might look out of place. Side pipes and wheels perhaps?
