Title: Slip Streamer Windshield
Post by: grinnell on May 08, 2017, 17:41:00 PM
Does anyone have any experience with slip streamer brand shields? IE: Fitment w/ light bar, longevity, space between headlight and shield, etc. Looks like a pretty decent price.

If I recall correctly my '99 Drifter came with one from the previous owner. I had a fitment problem when I installed an OEM lightbar. I solved the problem by finding an OEM Drifter windshield and mounts. I think the main problem is the mounts, they set the windshield too far forward and cause interference with the OEM light bar. You may be able to solve the problem with a compact or shallow/flat back light.

Thanks for the info Old Drifter! The OEM shields seem insanely hard to find unfortunately. I really like the idea of all the chrome on them too for the extra shine for other drivers to be able to see you.
