I have an idea . My hood is vinyl wrapped "satin black." Its fairly cheap, $50 for a 4'x6' section, easy to apply & removable. What if you bought some vinyl wrap & laid it over the panel/window? You could stretch the wrap across the "window seam" to give a smooth appearance. It would be temporary but it would give the illusion of a solid panel so you can see if its what you want. At least you would be certain before putting the time & money making a solid panel... just a thought.

Your idea is one I considered.

Absolute Genious!!! I really like the "vinyl wrapped" idea a lot. It gives the same illusion as a Panel Delivery truck (i.e. for a Proton Panel Delivery). Is way more cheaper and cost effective than permanent metal body panel modification, and allows current owner (or next owner) to revert the VX back to original side window condition if so desired later on (win, win).



BTW-- I totally agree with others, that the 3rd quarter rear side windows are worthless for spotting traffic and I depend upon my side mirrors and rear door window (with fresnel sticky lens) for spotting adjacent lane traffic.
