Don't do it.
Split window doesn't even look good on the C2 that it came from.
(Of course the C2 coupe is kinda Fugly anyway. Now a Vert C2 on the other hand? )

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.


You mean like this?

That split window C4 looks like an answer to a question no one ever asked...

The whole point of the split window in '63 was to carry the character line in the center of the car completely from front to back, uninterupted (except for the windshield of course). Without that character line, what's the point?

Since you are asking others on this forum, the consensus is clear.

My $0.02: It's never a good idea to do something just to get attention, or just for others to appreciate if you don't appreciate it yourself... the exception being if it will make your wife/husband happy.

Do what you like and enjoy it.
