Default Weird C4!

Saw a C4 today on the way to work that had the rear glass removed and relplaced by a vertical window and a cover for the hatch area. It kinda made the rear window look like an early C3. ( I like early C3 BTW )
Different but goofy.

Is this an aftermarket kit or something?

I've seen these advertised, but not in real life. If I can find a link to one of the advert's, I'll post it for you.

Different looking, that's for sure. Not for me, though.

That kit is called "Converti Coupe". I seen one in Carlisle a few years back and the quailty was kind of nasty.
The price range from $795.00 to $995.00 depending what year Vette you own. Most Vette catalogs carry them.

It's the Converti Suck. Good concept, bad execution. The install is a pain to do, and supposedly requires you to get the ole' hacksaw out. I personally don't like the looks too much. I could of been done better I think.
