Z4 Pictures of my "Homemade" windscreen

Hi All,
See a few pics of my homemade windscreen, I just followed the instructions on the forum. Spent about $30 on materials and had enough left over for another one! Took the car out for a test drive and it seems to work really well!

Post wind screen DIY

Where can I find the instructions to build this wind screen. I could not find it in the forum. It looks great, better than the expensive web screen offered by BMW.
