It's an ongoing project. All I've done so far is make a rough plexiglas
screen the size and shape of the hoop and secured it with nylon ties. That
convinced me that it was a worthwhile project, but I would like to find some
mesh like they use to make the ones on BMWs, boxsters, etc. I thought about
fiberglas window screen, but that might be kind of tacky. Then I have to
fasten it to the rollbar, probably with velcro straps or something. I'm
open to suggestions!
