TT,
Thanks for posting those pics (that's what I was going to look for).
JWKirkland,
No - the windscreen is not stock. I had a replacement super clear windscreen made ($80) and the 3" Z etched into the new glass ($20). The OEM windscreen has a tint (green color) to the glass, which lessens the brightness of the screen with MacGyver's kit. So after getting the new screen made, had the larger Z etched in to increase the effect.
By the way, how do you like the Stiller S/C?
Mike

The screen can be changed to any color desired. I agree and think blue is the best looking color, but I am worried about the cops pulling me over for it (plus, when you hit the brake and it turns red, it may apear like a siren - well, enough for me to get pulled over). The windscreen is the last reason I want to get pulled over (I give the police plently of other reasons already ).

A blue and red sounding siren huh? I think you meant a police light
The screen looks hot in blue and I bet IU will snap some shots of the setup in blue. Unfortunately from a distance the blue screen is positioned just such that if you IU is behind you with it illuminated blue, it looks like there are two blue lights right below his rearview mirror. While one could argue that the windscreen is an interior light and thus not subject to the no blue/red lights rule here in Texas I doubt its worth the risk...
The best part about the footwell/windscreen combo can't even be seen; when IU hits that brake and the color changes from green to red it looks its best
