I think I saw one at Carlisle last year. At least it had the split rear window.

Certainly is different.  I'd have to agree with Joel, a bit too much going on, specially the coves on the sides.

i really liked the split window on it, but i agree, the scallops have to go.   Would sure love to own one, scallops or not.

It sorta looks like a C3 on steroids! I think I'd rather have the C5 the way it is. It's a moot point, since the article said the company is no longer in business! Long live C3s!

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
I like it but I would not to modify my C3 to that look personally.  But if someone had a really bad body or if  Corvette is looking at a retor look flashing back to the C3 those design look good to me.  I rather like them more than the C6 personally.   I would give them a hard look if they were offered as a C7. 

As far as modifying a C3 goes if you are not staying original then it depends on how much money you want to spend.  I personally would not put side pipes on a C3 I do not thing they add anything to the car's looks.  But I'm running different rims on mine even though I have a set of 82 CE rims sitting in my storage and the rest of the car when done will be original looking except the rims.  Just do not like the CE rims that much.

Vette(s): 1979 L-82, 3 spd auto, car was originally Lt. Beige currently painted Sportsman Red, Doeskin leather interior, 103,000 miles......
I think it looks a bit like a Jaguar from the rear, and as for the nose it looks like they couldnt zero in on a generation of vette they really liked so they just took a smattering of all and pressed it on the car.......PASS!!!!!!

The butt-end looks like the front end of an old Studebaker....
I just think it's got too many different themes goin on...like a Johnny Cash car or something....
