IMO, I think to do this experiment justice, you should make the window "splitter" thinner and give it a curved transition into the body top and bottom to make it look less like tape and more realisitic.

But I agree with a previous post, this is an interesting doodle, but nothing comes close to the original. Mustang did a great job on the c-pillar windows, but this just doesn't fit any of the newer generations of Vettes.

The '63 coupe is an icon within an icon.

Hey, but you sure did garner responses.

Somehow it really makes me think of the National Flag of Switzerland.

Needs shape and texture to work.

It just wouldn't flow unless you redesigned the whole back to have smaller windows like the 63. Even then, it might not look right on a C6.
