What a smooth, seamless transition the roof makes. Looking forward to updates on how it handles highway speeds in the 70-80mph range while cruising. Looks like visibility looking up at the light signals will be challenging. Time to head to the stealership and see what they have installed and get a test run in.
Slingshade Now Available

I didn’t have any trouble seeing lights. I’m 6’1” and have gen 1 prp seats. Cruising on the highway is lovely with that top.

Okay well we just came home in my brother’s slingshot. Mine is currently at the dealership getting a midnight cherry slingshade installed.
First impression. It’s a stunning top. The style and design are just amazing. Makes the slingshot look like a much more expensive vehicle.
For the record this slingshot has a madstad 9” blade installed. With the blade down it is very quiet and still in the cabin. It had some light cross breeze at 70+ mph and zero buffeting. With the blade up the cabin is flooded with air. Have only tested full up and full down. There’s probably a sweet spot in the middle.
The gull wing portions are abs and feel a tad flimsy when opening or closing. All the structural portions of the top are rock solid and there is no shaking or creaking at speed.
It’s a joy to ride with the top. I’ll never be driving my sling without one. Ever.
This is my brother’s slingshot. I will post pictures of mine when it’s done.

I am 6'4 with the Polaris quilted custom seats. They are slightly higher. They make seeing the lights a little bothersome.

I sat in the one at Brewer's on Sat. I do not believe you are going to be able to see traffic lights, I am 5 ft. 6 in. @sideseatdriver opinion when she sat in it was " NO but HELL NO "
That's also because she is claustrophobic and it made her feel like she was in a coffin.
I'm 6'4", and when I sat in the same one, I felt like I couldn't see much. Lots of blind spots, as a general feel.

For anyone that is interested in the top, i'd recommend putting hands and eyes on it first. Other than my particular dislike for confined spaces, a few other people noted that the hatch that lifts for ingress/egress purposes is flimsier than other models. Again, to each their own!
@Cameron Roberts, glad you like yours.

Totally agree that the gull wing portion is flimsy feeling. It is, however abs plastic. The rest of the structure is very rigid and incredibly smooth at speed. I have two of the slingshades, so I may be biased.

@Cameron Roberts have you sat on a sling with any other top, It would be very interesting to see a comparison on visibility vs other tops(gullwing/RD/stinger)

Stinger, and the panoramic. Haven’t sat under the gull wing.
