WIIND WINGS ABD VISORS NOW AVAILABLE

Any pics from the front looking back?

Maybe a stupid question, Bruce, is it $150.00 for both the wings and visors or $150.00 for just the wings or visors?

One or the other Terry, you can't have it all.

 Jeeeshh, and they say today's youths have entitlement issues. LOL

Terry...Sorry...I wasn't quite clear. It's $150.00 for a set of wings and $150.00 for a set of visors.....Bruce

Bill...I didn't take a pfoto from the fron looking back but I did this one.......Bruce

How does the visor attach? Is that a spring loaded clip?

Hi Cole....No, not spring loaded.  If you look at the left photo of the wing you will see a countersunk 1/4" Allen hex head cap screw in the center of the clamp part. This tightens the clamp but only so far. The real clamping is accomplished thru  3M high density foam tape between the clamp and the windshield frame. This keeps the clamp and frame from coming in contact and marring the surface.  There is also a tongue-and-groove slot milled into the mating surfaces of each half of the clamp. This keeps the two halves from being miss-aligned during installation and limits the amount of squeeze of the clamp. I supply a 3/16" Allen wrench with each set of wings and/or visors so the owner can quickly remove them. It's really simple and the wrench should be stored in a sandwich bag (rust you know) in a door pocket.......Bruce

Bruce-  I received and installed the clear side wings on Saturday.  They look awesome.  Great execution, quality parts!  

I will try to post some pictures later this week... The sky openend up and it has been downpouring since Sunday here in Seattle...  top is now on, and the side wings have been removed and are on the passenger seat waiting for the top to come off for me to take some beauty shots.

Thank you again Bruce.

Luis...I'd love to see some photos when you get a chance.....Bruce

Just ordered my set of wings for Penny. 

Wings and a windscreen...kinda like a belt and suspenders. What will the cool kids think of me now?

Wow those look great Bruce, nice work!

Got my wind wings on Penny. Amazing! 20mph faster, 30mpg more...                           All kidding aside, a very nice product.

Penny loves some jewelry but she's a working gal so it has to be pretty and functional. Bruce's wings fit the bill. First off, they are small but so is the windshield. They came well protected and Bruce includes instructions and Allen wrench. You'll be tempted to throw the instructions away but don't! You'll end up trying to remove the inner red tape, which is not really tape. 

Once the wings are installed you can barely see them. I have the clear ones - I'm sure the red ones will be noticeable. They do look period correct and they actually serve a function. Keep in mind that I installed a wind screen (belt) and now I have added suspenders (wings)! With the addition of the wings I would estimate another 20% reduction in wind noise and 30% reduction in side wind. I still wear a hat but it stays on much better with the addition of the wings.

I know Troy offers his cruzin' windows and I will purchase a set when he releases the full height version, but Bruce's wings cut down the side wind and allow you to place your arm on the sill - a necessary pose if you want to look cool, like me.

The only thing I would like to see, if there is a 2nd generation of the wind wings, is a smaller, more delicate looking clamp. I don't know if that's possible - that's just bitching from Penny.

Great job, Bruce! Money well spent.

 

Those look great, Terry.

If you're considering Troy's windows, you may want to go with the ones he's always made.

I've mentioned this before, but they work great with the top up in the cold if it's not actually raining. We left Monterey a few weeks ago in early morning fog/mist with temps in the 50's. The Cruzin' Windows leave just enough gap at the back edge for good ventilation. In cold, damp conditions the car would have fogged up inside with regular side curtains.

Suspenders? No white, patent-leather belt yet, I hope.

 

Suspenders + white patent-leather belt is called the "Half Cleveland".

Suspenders + white patent-leather belt AND white patent-leather shoes is known as the "Full Cleveland"

Those wings certainly add a nice (functional) detail to Penny.
