Rear Wind Restrictor

I love mine, it helps with the wind and exhaust. I have rear speakers, side, and front and it works well. The only wind I get is from the side, like a window down in a car. What do you want to know?

• It does reduce cabin noise. Looks cool at night. Definitely able to hear radio better as well as conversations.

seems like it might add some drag, I can deal with some drag if it improves cabin noise so I can enjoy my tunes even more.

I'm sure it adds drag, but I don't drive 80-90 mph everywhere I go. It will help with noise. Hope it helps, stay safe.

I'm trying to make my own..I have it cut out already but I need to know what type of LEDs they use...it's not these... Amazon.com: Black PCB TV BackLight Kit,Computer Case LED Light,eTopxizu 3.28Ft Multi-colour 30leds Flexible 5050 RGB USB LED Strip Light with 5v USB Cable And Mini Controller For TV/PC/Laptop Background Lighting: Computers & Accessories . Because when they are lit you can tell the lights are individual ...on the one you buy the light looks continuos....

If you watch the install video, you can see there is a solid center piece that has the LEDs (light strip, presumably) that provide the perimeter lighting. I would assume the solid center piece at the bottom of the panel causes the light to distribute itself across the panel.

No I have some of the ones I linked above and when lit and attached to the plexiglass you can tell they are individual lights on the strip...

That said I just ordered some of this and I think this is what is used...

I like the way the fire etched ones look, but I don't see how you can drive with it lit without getting pulled over...right now I just want to light up the edge red. I think you could get away with just the edge being lit red since its behind the driver compartment which should be far enough toward the rear of the vehicle not to be a problem....but one totally covering the rear window from side to side could be a big issue..because you can see it from the front of the vehicle and with that much glowing red you look like an emergency vehicle and that's a problem..and for $300 I want it lit while driving because I'm not going to park it just to have the light lit..and walk around and look at it. Also you'll have the same issue with blue....and other colors will just bring the cops running..

I would think Red or Blue would be the problem colors as those are the colors of official/emergency vehicles. Green, Yellow or White shouldn't be a problem.

I'd assume the LEDs are close enough together that when the bottom edge of the panel has some type of cover over the LEDs, the light should diffuse around the edges of the panel and not look like individual LEDs.

That's what I thought but I've been experimenting and with the ones I have the individual lights are very evident...it looks funny...not a steady glow but light and dark... I'll get this if it kills me..

You need 120* wide angle LEDS with tight spacing on the strip .... preferably a waterproof variant ...

An example : W-Series (Wide) Flexible LED Strip Light - Ultra Bright (18 LEDs/foot) – aspectLED

This is in the email notice from doing odd about this shield...

I also notice from the pictures they are even getting two color effects....look at the flames. Red all over and yellow coming up from the middle

It's RGB you can make all sorts of light effects.

OK i think i am going to pull the trigger on one of these. My next question is how do I design my own graphic for it? I looking to do a NY Yankees theme put the NY symbol behind each seat Yankees in script across the top and in the middle the staduim I just have no clue on how to go about making it lol.

Talk to the guys at @slingmods they will walk you thru it

I thought they were using two different colors at once...you're saying the picture was taken while the lights were changing color?
