I know this should probably be in the body shop forum but I thought more people would see it here. Anyhow last night I took a dremal and cut the windshield and rear window out of my savage for cooling. Then went to the local ace hadrware store and bought some 1/4" squared wire mesh screen, painted it black. I then turned the screen 45 degrees so I would end up with a diamond shape instead of just squares in the window openings. Cut the screen to fit the openings from the inside of the body I then used a hot glue gun to glue the screen to the body (from the inside). I don't have a digital camera to take pic. but it looks really good, at least I think. At anyrate you will have sonething different at the track. If someone has already done this, I haven't seen it and just thought I would share some info. Good luck.
