The one I've seen look pretty "CHEESY" I'd think twice or maybe 3 times before you jump on this mod.

I agree, I saw one when I went to a car show in Sacramento and it didn't look very well. Out of place was my first thought.

I drove a customer's C5 one time that had the "split window" look. He had a bunch of electronics in his car and I actually thought it was some sort of fancy-shmancy antenna. It was about 1 1/2" wide and the last thing I would have thought was that it was to duplicate a '63 split window". Not my cup of tea.

Hay, it is your car, your money do what you like. I don't think you ask what other poeple though of the idea, only what vendor carry them.

We know, we're just trying to save him from making a huge faux pas.

As TR6speed said, I know you didn't ask for opinions, but I just had to chime in.
I think it would be cool if this were an actual split window. But much like the faux Z06 Brake Ducts, this "stick-on" is a matter of personal preference. If you like it, go for it.

I've seen worse, but there is only one split window coupe Corvette and this won't change that fact. That said, it's your car and if you like it then that's all that matters.
