I have seen this done by Calloway, I think, they lowered the top @ 3-4 inches and you could only tell it if you looked really close.
basically, they lowered the rake of the windshield
People that don't know how to fabricate seem to poo-poo anything out of the ordinary.
I would love to see pics.

My guess is that you're going to see a certain Forum member selling parts here very soon. No comments on the concept (I'll keep those to myself) but if it's a custom-made car that he's wanting to build, why not just buy a wrecked C4 for the suspension and driveline and custom fabricate the body from scratch. That I could see doing... but wrecking an otherwise complete car to build this "vision"... I just don't get it. Oh well, to each his own... I guess one way of looking at this is that it's just increasing the desirability of an unmolested C4 as well as increasing the supply of used repair parts. Good luck.
