Combine that with a lighting kit is what I had in mind. Any interest?
I've seen one on a 987 like that. But he had it held in place with what appeared to be some sort of Velcro strap.

That would make it easy to install the lighting. When I get mine installed and wired all up I'll see how it turns out. I don't see a problem doing either the stock WD or one like you are describing with any design anyone might want! I've got a buddy that I'm going to be doing something like this in a show bike windscreen. It's a sport bike so you don't really use the windscreen anyway or so he says! Lol!

Here's a link to the WD working. I have to put it in the car. It's got a IR remote that you can change the color or fade with it.

Hi,

Looks really good. Where did you get led & remote and what did they cost?

LED Lit rear deflector

Did you ever get it mounted and ready to go? I'm really curious about 1) the costs involved, and 2) the amount of glare you get while driving at night.

Thanks,

Pat

Yep got it mounted up and working. Glare is a no issue as you can dimm it to any brightness.

I've been down for surgery and just got out of the hospital. I'll try and post more as soon as I can walk and take more pics.
