it looks fantastic, and i admire the craftsmanship. my only problem is that i already have a hard time seeing traffic lights from a dead stop, and im sure this will make it even worse. now if it only appears to drop down further than the top of the windshield due to the angle of the picture, than this looks like something i would love to have.
I will get this the minute it comes out, but I have the same question as above...

We will make the downward protrusion as minimal as possible, but some is unavoidable given the design issues and dimensions we have to work with.

I made a lot more progress last night refining the shape and reducing its size a bit. I'll try to post some new photos tonight.

I can't wait to see the finished product.
A V1 is definitely on my mod list, I guess a Navi system will be too now.
