fairings
has anybody considered adding fairings behind the roll bars?

if not too large, they may fit.
as my son owns a roadster, i tried to figure out a shape that just follows the roll bars, and ends just before the line where the cover touches the surface.
the profile very much like that on the jag. it would work. it would not interfere with the retracting.
they could be attached at the front to the roll bars with straps like those that hold the windscreen, and under the whole surface with velcro.
or, if willing to have them permanently, have some sort of screwed to the surface. especially if driving at mach speed.
but cant persuade my son to try them, as he wants to keep it stock.

i think it is just right for the kind of car. as if it came with it from the factory. even the roll bars contribute to the shape.
art deco indeed.

and not so long that interferes with the folding of the top.
