Come to think of it, several of the referenced designs by forum members sport two-tone paint jobs. I wonder what their reasons were.

Remember, this is a first pass, on idea floating around in my head, not Tyler's. However if member input hates or likes it, some reasons why might help both of us on future projects.

EDIT-1: Typical Frit Automotive Glass Examples..........for reference.

EDIT-2: I looked at the sight lines from the rear view mirror and now better understand the rear glass size. Tyler, go with safety first and sort of ignore my post about it looking too large. If you carry the rear glass over the roof Porsche Targa style, it might make an interesting option.
