A buddy has a 94 and ended up buying those $1,300 in parts. He loves the difference it made. I too would have looked hard for something else......even paying someone to let me take theirs off to see how to make my own.

I'm in the process of building one for my gun as well. They really change the looks of them.

I still have that extra plexi. Not sure if I want to give it up,
but you can take it somewhere and have one made if you want
I would have to say that is the best improvement I have done. Well maybe second to the SMITH things!

That's what I was planning on doing and waiting for your boat to get back so I can make a pattern.

They make a big difference in reducing the wind noise over the flaps and they look a lot better.

I could not use all the old holes from the wind flaps, but only had to cover up the end 2 on each side ..
