I wish I were better at photoshop. Nothing I tried looked like what I was going for. Meh, I'll build it....... 
This looks nothing like I have in my head, but I took so long with it, I'm going to post it anyway.....

I actually want the lower vent (and upper vent) black, but if I made it black you couldn't see it.
meh, this doesn't look anything like I am thinking.....

OH, and there's a company called "MaShaw" that makes kits for BMW and they use a special method for strengthening their glass kits to the point they are unbelievably strong. Just the front bumper costs $1500 (had one on my BMW) and the lip is another $450 (had that too). It was nearly unbreakable (but obviously not impossible).
I'll be using their build methods so it will surpass the rather fragile AC kit in strength and rival the ABS kits with ease.

I wouldn't go so far to call the ac kit "rather fragile' as it actually has been one of the strongest and most durable kits I’ve owned.
Perhaps owning prior to critiquing it would be optimal.

Perhaps not. 88% of owners consider it "fragile" and that's good enough for me.
Keep the dream alive!
