OK, just these last two variations and now I'm done. Thanks for indulging me in this game of what-if.

Actually I think it looks really cool. I like how the body-color panel shows off the curve in the backglass area better than just glass alone. I'd probably consider modding my vette with that, if it were available.

I kind of like the concept but agree the windows need to be a little larger than on the original photochop!

If you consider Lt Pewter Metallic to be "tan," then you're right.

I like it too. I'm a fan of the '63's and I don't think this is a cheap imitation but rather an enhancemet to an already great looking car.

The more I look at it the more I see a strong similarity in the shape of the C2 fastback and the C5 rear window. I don't know if it was homage or aerodynamics that the designers were paying respect to, but there's definitely something there.

The split window aftermarket was (is?) made for the C5.
HERE is a pic from the Free State Corvette Show at Ocean City MD last fall.

Interesting concept and good PS, but say goodbye to the rear sight lines if this is every made into reality.

rcs, damn fine job with photoshop. I didn't care for the first one, but I love the second one. It needs the trunk/hatch line but I can't figure out if I like the picture or the concept better. That's a poorly worded compliment by the way. Nice job.
