Anyone seen this in person or seen any better pictures? I think its a neat look, I dont know if id do it on my vette, but its got to add to the open air feel of the coupe.

It is hard to say this but......... I kind of like it. I would have to wait and see it in person or at least some better pictures of it. Any out there?

Brings back fond memories of my '76, but I think it kills the lines of the C5. Maybe if it flowed back a bit more....

I don't like it. Reminds me of the flat back of the SSR.

It ain't bad in my opinion. I actually would like to see the finished product on a full car photo. I think from the pic you can use a targa top? Yeah.... give it a chance.

There was a Vette a Bloomington Gold this past weekend that had this rear hatch. Definitely different, although I kind of liked it. The fit seemed good, and the flat back glass was removable as well. Basically removed like the rear window on the 68 -72 Stingrays. Sorry I didn't have my camera with me so no pics, but it obviously looked like what is shown in the post above.

There's one in the area... Red with one of the non pop up headlights. Saw it on Roosevelt Blvd near Nabisco then a week later on Rt 1 pulling onto I-95 South. Always going the opposite way. Have never seen him at a local show though.
