Has anyone seen this wind deflector?



i was driving by a gas station and saw an 86 z sitting and somthing on the window, at first i thought it was a for sale sign then i noticed it wasnt.

the lady came out and we talked a bit, she loved the car ,said she used to have louvers on it too but the snow blocked her visibility. (i drive in the snow too)

anyway these things look cool if i could get them in black and if they would cut down on the wind turbulence when the windows are full down id think they would be worth it. anoyne?

Funny. The other day some guy was complaining that there was no wind getting into the car with the windows down (I guess it was too hot for him) and now here you are trying to cut down the wind...

Check Summit for something like that. They have them for trucks...

I think a piece of galvinized sheet metal from home depot could get you the same results with a little trimming with tin snips. Trim it bend it and jam it into the weatherstripping - Blammo! Not really my style, and maybe I offered too cheap of a idea. If you find some, or make some post pics.

whatever it is, it should at least be painted to match the car.
