Default Split Window Applique

Saw this and thought it cool for my C8. https://www.topflightautomotive.com/products/c8-2020-2024-chevrolet-corvette-custom-painted-split-window-applique-choose-color-ca/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_ca mpaign={campaignname}&utm_content={asset groupname}&utm_term={search_term}&utm_id =22901372158&gad_source=5&gad_campaignid =22897252955&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2LyV_6zMk QMVPsKfCR3ouANsEAQYASABEgItMvD_BwE

Can't decide. Too much for a Stingray? Thoughts? Only constructive, polite comments wanted.

Hey, Jim, thanks so much for the pictures. Would it be possible to get a closeup of the fitment at the top and bottom of the piece? No hurry. Enjoy your Christmas and thanks, again!

I like it. I wish it was a factory option. I'd bet a lot of buyers would order it. Just like in 63, no one liked it but now everyone wants a 63 and prices are through the split window!

Few liked the '63 due to poor visibility out of the rear window. We can't see out of the rear widow of the C8 as is. So adding plastic bits to the window can't hurt the visibility.

That trim shouldn't affect the way the rear camera works.

Is there another piece that you added at the bottom of the applique? It looks like it's recessed into another piece.

Just got my applique. Took only a week and it looks great. Great paint match and looks great on the car. Waiting for warm weather to install.

I wish there was a paint match option for the area around the rear window. Anyone know if that area is easily removed to have a paint shop color match it?
