Anyone know where I could get some for a ke70 or even my ae95?

Don't want the ridiculously huge style ones that most falcoons and dunnydores have...

Can you get them custom made at all?

Are these even wind/weathershields or are they just sunshades?

I just want something for my daily AE95 and depending on how they looked for my 71 as well, to reduce the wind noise when cruising on the freeway.

The massive ones like this: -

Ive seen an 86 with the slim ones, they are wicked, I want some myself so I can have some ventilation when its raining hard out with out getting drenched, de-misters don't work too great..

the ones on my car are chrome aswell, they just havent been polished/cleaned up...they are standard/option (not 100% sure) on jdm models...

picked mine up on yahoo quite awhile ago, bought them before i actually owned the car to be honest :jdmsmile:

there are aftermarket ones available in the UK in a fibreglass or plastic finish...ive also seen them popping up on yahoo in a kevlar,fibreglass or carbon finish...but nothing beats the oem chrome

Might have to make up some custom ones or cut down some of the huge ones...

What could I use to cut them and end up with a clean edge?

Last time I cut perspex it was a mess :D

these are handy when its raining as you can have the window down a crack and venturi pulls fresh air through the car
