Lol not with the enclosed cockpit but just the window frame would be ace. Feel free to use me as guinea pig if you want Could also build a rollbar into the rear of the window frame same as in that pic. Would be kinda cool.

But on a serious note if you do make a window frame scuttle i would buy one. Also do count me in on the rear diffuser for sure.

You loose out too much having a windscreen fitted to this type of car, the wind buffeting is worse with a windscreen fitted than with simple aero screens. It's also like trying to push a door through the air as the screen tends to be quite upright and acts like a sail.

True, but tell that to my Mrs who's worried about her hair blowing everywhere and getting hit in the face by bugs!
