Default Split-Window C4

I am trying to get out to a many events as I can before summer expires. Today was a very nice park setting beside a river. I ran across a C4 with a split-window treatment. Many on the Forum are into mods so I thought I would share.

Interesting idea and great craftsmanship, but it just doesnt seem to fit the car very well.

I quite like that. Is it a mod to the car itself, or just painted onto the glass?

Saudivette,
I looks like a thin plastic, painted overlay onto the glass window.

A desperate attempt to make a c4 stand out from the crowd. To each his own, but it doesn't do a thing for me. On the other hand,isthat a pace car I see sitting right next door? That looks way cool.

Looks like a vision obstruction, just like on a '63 SWC.

Looks to me like the rear view of a woman wearing a red thong!

Pretty creative and nice body work. Would look better without the spoiler and body panels i feel. Needs stingray chrome bumbers though. Yea needs fiberglass ends that match a C2. And why not? Instead of $35k for a C2 spend $8k for a C4 with a hatch back. Wouldn't worry much about theft or collision either. Still a Gen I sb Chevy and can make it the same thrill to drive. cardo0
