Question Has Anyone Done a Quarter Window Delete?

I am doing a bunch of body work soon and was contemplating removing the side quarter windows and smoothing out the sides. I am just wondering if anyone has done it and if so do you have any pictures? I came across a car for sale on Kijiji and asked the owner for some pictures, but the guy imbedded the pics in the email and they were small and were angle shots that didn't show the side of the car properly to see if it looked good or not. I was thinking of putting on the Cervinis quarter window covers, so I am okay with no side window anyways, but I know that people hate things stuck on the car, and I wonder if I should just remove the side windows. I have the CDC inside covers to fill in the area on the inside of the car and I think that would look good to cover up the hole as much as possible without doing some major plastic work!

What do you mean by "people hate things stuck on the car"? Just put covers on the windows IMO

To do so would add blind spots and lower the ability to see and react. Thats a saftey thing in my book.

I don't even look out the quarter windows, I use my mirrors and power.

They're just too cheap looking for me to use them. If they didn't look so cheap I'd buy them but...

What part are you wondering about? Where they look cheap? From the inside out IMO

I guess that's why Ford only puts them on a cheap car like the Cobra Jet

Same here, you can't really see out of them while driving unless it is the passenger side one.

The thing I don't like about them is they glass or plexi-glass they use always looks warped whenever I see it. Plus it kind of looks a little bit cheap to me since you can see the seam all the way around it. If you could fill that in with some body filler or something then it would look better to me.
