Question Rain Guards for FC...no companies make them, anyone wanna lay some in CF??

There is absolutely NO company that makes the rain guards for the FC. That pisses me off, i like them and i want them. I know theres a bunch of you crazy bastards that can mold anything out of carbon fiber, so give it a try, i'm sure you could sell quite a few of them if they came out nice. Think about it, ponder the idea...anybody?

And here I thought rain guards were only for Pick Up Trucks in the South to protect the good ole boy's arms when they rest their arms on the top of the door panel.

If the $s are not too steep and not a glue-on, I'm up for it.

For those of us that have pulled our ac, and a mid summer rain storm comes, these are a must. I didnt even drive my car in the rain this summer. windows fog up..... its like a sauna...... cant roll down window or you have water on your interior = non driveable. I WISH I HAD THESE THIS SUMMER. Now its winter and my heater is amazing. I would still be interested.

Thats my FC with the rain guards and got em from http://aerodyne.net/ for about $180.00 I think. I have a friend in Japan right now who is getting me another set for about $150.00 I think he said. If you want em call and talk to the lady at aerodyne and she will hook you up.

These fit inside the window track area with metal clips and they do go from the mirror all the way to the back. Those in the picture just look like they are on the top only but they go all the way.
