I think you're on the right track with the seamless bumpers. It would give it a sleaker look.

Keep us updated on the paint progress.

Yeah, glassin the bumper covers on would make it look kewl ...but I have an opinion on the rear cover. I think it would look best with the earlier style cover, like it had before. It just seemed to "flow" with the rear window better. Maybe it looks different in real life, and the pics just don't do it justice...

If the suits at GM could'a seen past their pencils, that design would have doubled production.Geek
 
BTW, that back window is Cool but,  can you see anything out of it?.

Wow, I really like the style. COOL LOOKS....the C2 window blends in real good.   And more luggage space to boot.  Couldn't get your link to download completely, but I have dial up.  Keep us informed on the paint and moreClap.  Thanks!!!

Yep, Bill I shore do like yer vette. Back window makes it kewl! I am particularly envious of the LT1 addition. She looks snug. Did the puter give you much fits to install?

Glass in the bumpers an you will be very happy (mine are).

Did you say Black OH YEAH, I don't think any other color would do that beast justice!

NICE WORK

Wow! I'm always amazed at what some of you guys can do. Can't wait to see how sweet it looks when painted. The glass bumpers would be a nice finishing touch for that beauty.
 
Very Sweeeeeet! Clap
