C6 Corvette hatch conversion
I saw this on the Corvetteforum when fellow member posted pictures of Carlisle event, and this picture caught my eyes, cause I think it looks great, certainly different look to the C6 Corvette.
Has anybody else ever saw this on another car, or catalog store.

Creates a huge blind spot though, IMO.
That's why he has added circular convex mirrors to his mirrors.

Would also limit what you could store in the hatch area.

I don't know where he got it.
I think that it is just one mod too many.

Expensive
Ugly
Probably kills the resale potential
Less trunk space
Reduced visibility
I'll pass on this one.

I like the thought of it, as I was a fan of the C5 Z06 rear deck and this sort of reminds me of it. However I don't like the way the hatch is painted since the halo and removable top look to be black. I guess I should say I think it would look better if the halo and top weren't black.
