Not a giant fan of it..Does give it a retro look. But,on the other hand at a Corvette Show or large cruise nite,it would make it stand out in the usual sea of C5's. Its only a bolt on type mod.No permanet damage.

Framing is just too wide, thinned down might look better.

Was made for 1963 for a reason.

43 years later the style changes...

My dad just sold his; INHO I didn't really like it in 63 either...

Hmmmm...well.....aaa.....Nope, won't fit my Z06

If I want a 63 split window I'd buy one, I like my Z06.

I think the paint job itself is pretty interesting, though... I like it. Wouldn't want it, but I like it.
