The split window belongs on a C2.

Actually, there was this person or company who had fabricated this "split-window" part somewhere in the Phoenix or Tucson, Arizona area. If I remember, I had first seen it on Ebay under Corvette parts. And it was made for a C5.

You might want to check to see if they are still selling this piece on Ebay if you're really interested. Sorry, but I don't have any contacts for this company or person. And I don't remember what it cost. If they have been selling it successfully, then do a Google Search and see if you come up with anything. I would put in Google, "Split Window Part For C-5 Corvette". Good luck.

Great photoshop skills. In fact, you made that retro mod look rather attractive and eye catching on that EB C5.

I have always liked the 63 split window and I really like the second one that you did. I think it would look awesome! Classic lines...carries the heritage of the couple forward and yet completely modernized...yup...I think you may be on to something!

Default I Like It!!

I remember asking in a post awhile back for someone to try this that is into Photochop. I like how it turned out. I'd buy one. It was the 63 split window that caught my eye as a kid and made me dream of owning a Corvette and I've longed for a split window ever since. Can you photochop it into Millenium Yellow so I can use it as a background on my computer? Thanks! Dan

Everyone - thanks for all the comments and compliments on my Photoshop work. It's kind of funny -- I was just messing around with the idea and it turns out the look ins't half bad. I woudn't ever do this to my car, but I think my design is far better than that light blue car that was done for real.

Dan -- I'll try converting it to yellow and see how it looks. What's the screen resolution on your computer?
