Now I have to make more decisions on how to finish the sides.
I have taped in some possible lines -
1) a higher fill - extending the existing line from the back to the top of the wind deflector.
2) a medium fill - splitting the difference - and
3) a low fill - with more angle. Going from the top of the wind deflector to the bottom of the rear top cover.
Basically make it look like it has two steps like some of the Cigs.
Personally I like that one.
The next question I have - is do I do it with FG or just framed thick black tinted acrylic?
Should I keep the deflector white or go black?
Or spluge and have a go at continuing the deck painted flames up the deflector.
Or more likely get someone to do it for me.
Is the deflector still too high?
But the current height offers good protection, and I can still easily see bow, even seated.
I can and probably will put a small clear acrylic windsceen on it, just to help wind deflection.
I got the idea for the deflector & going black from the red boat.
I liked the black look ....... just trying to copy it somewhat.
Lots to think about - any opinions?

One thing I do really like is the deflector hides the sharp curve around where the windscreen went.
It now has a much wider base, and is flatter a lot larger, coming down to the deck just behind the deck hatches. Thus giving the 382 a whole new appearance.

Here is a picture - thanks to NaplesImage.com.
Of the cig with a small winscreen & the step in the side lines - like my prefered option.
For this minute anyway.
So many decisions to make.

Any suggestions on which way to go forward with the sides & deflector ?
As you can see, I just try to create based on the best of what everyone has to offer.
Constructive criticism is welcome.

I would post this in the general discussion forum, otherwise I don't think you'll get many responses to your questions. I can't see your images so I can't comment.
