A while back I recall reading a post where someone wondered aloud what a Split Window C5 would look like. So I was sitting around with some pics, photoshop, and too much time on my hands, and I decided to find out. And I think that the answer is...

It would look really, really bad.
(of course my photoshop job leaves something to be desired, too)
On the right track but needs a little work. Make the windows a bit bigger.

Ok, you guys pressured me into going back into the file.
So here's the coupe with larger windows, the "stinger" down the back, side vents and the rear emblem repositioned a bit further up the back. Thanks for all the input... it helped me see what needed to be done.
And if anyone wants to make a kit out of this... ©2005 RCS128!

I'd have to say the same. Didn't like the original all that much but the revised version is looking better all the time to me.I think if you could shrink up the roof piller just a tad more, try to get a little "shine" out of the reworked area to blend better with the rest of the car and add the gaps for the trunk to open it would look even better. Just some thoughts.
Nice photoshop work.
