    I think small parts are better to try to reproduce at least at first. One thing I have never seen yet that looks good it a cowl vent cover. Every knows of
    a Mav or Comet with a leaky cowl. How hard would it be to create a vent
    cover that possibly had chrome accents on it, or had a carbon fiber look
    that sealed the cowl? i've seen the one that use a magnetic sheet or the
    clear ones for Mustangs....yuck.
    Just a thought..Don

    don that's been discussed on here before. they make one for a mustang i believe. problem is it does not completely seal the cowl as water can still get in through the place where the windshield wipers come out if i remember right. :)

    i think some quarter window vents would be cool like on mustangs and also a fast back sunshade that fits a maverick
