It just occured to me that I could probably Print one on my 3D printer in ABS plastic with some customized design of Text or logo etc.

What are they charging for these things on eBay, perhaps I could provide an alternative.

I'll have to measure mine to see if it will fit on the Print bed.

I personally think my car looks better without the mesh and clear wind blockers installed. I also don't think they do very much in the way of wind blocking. So mine are sitting on a shelf in the basement. If I ever need money to send my kids to college i'll put them up for sale lol.

I think I've seen them for $1-150 typically.

Oh man, I'm so with you there! The second it gets up above 40, I'm dropping the top just to curb withdrawal symptoms.

On the windblockers, I can see wanting the pieces if you happen to like the look or you're a completionist. However on mine, one car has the full length lexan windblocker, and the other has nothing at all. To be honest, I notice no difference in wind buffeting between the two whatsoever.
