Big thanks to Phil & Crew @ Lip-Ship Performance. He got us a Cigarette Factory Windscreen with the Cigarette lettering etched in it and fit it to the boat.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

That's cool. All of the others out there including mine are stickers made to look like it's been etched, so I figured yours probably was too. That had to be expensive. Looks nice. :cool:

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

That looks great Lucky!!


If you don't mind, PM me how much that set you back...I'm thinking about doing it to mine. :cool:

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

I want one !!!!!!!!!!!

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

As soon as it stops raining I'll ck to see if it is a sticker !
It looked to be etched..... maybe not... also has a blue tint
on the edges.

L.S.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

You guys probably needed the rain since I heard it's hot as hell down there. All I'm saying is if it IS a sticker, be carefull when you clean it or it will come off. It has fooled more than one person (me).

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

The blue tint is from the paint on the bottom of the windscreen.Its a cool effect that they have been using lately.Most likely your Cig script is a vinyl decal with the etched look.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Just went out in the rain to ck the etching on the wind screen....it's not !!

L.S.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Changed the color to purple instead of blue.
What do you guys think?

L.S.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Well, to be perfectly honest with you,cant tell from that photo.To do it properly,you would have to strip the blue before you applied the purple.Did you?

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

The other widscreen had a flaw & Phil replaced it with a new one.
I asked him to paint it purple this time. You can always count on him
to take good care of his customers.

Maybe Cig sold you the last one and thats why 2 voice mails and one PM to them this week have gone unanswered.

I can safely say that marine companies can only rank 2nd to the IRS for customer satisfaction.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Hey VB
Call 305-933-9988..............Ask for Phil........Tell him you saw on OSO that
he got Lucky Strike (Steve) a windscreen, can he get you one ?

LS

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Hey Steve,

PM me what you paid for that, I want to get one this winter.

Thanks in advance,
Craig

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Thanks Steve :cool:

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Looks sharp... :D

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

i'm going to lip-ship for my boat upgrade next spring, love there stuff and it sounds like there are a bang up crew, a little far from vegas but worth it i think :cool:

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Well worth it, Phil knows his stuff when it comes to boats. I recommend him highly.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

I'm sure you can get it etched. There was a guy in the parking lot of a bar here during bikeweek, that was etching windshields on bikes................blindfolded.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Here are a few more of the boat in the water with the windscreen.

Cuda-That's sweeet!

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

I got fed up with Cig and decided to make the windshield ad bracket myself.
Let me know what you guy's think.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Is that a Top Gun? How much did it cost you to make it??

I was thinking about buying one and getting someone to make a bunch of them. :cool:

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

Looks good, would like to se some profile shots and see how you did it. I gave up on Cig, I am not going to beg anyone to take my money, and there are a lot of talented people in the word that can make stuff like this.

Give us some more info plese Pt. and I believe that is a 30 cig.

Re: New Style Windscreen Pics
 

The boat is a 30' Mystique
The Plastic is 1/2" so it is very strong. The bracket is 1/4" Alum. it is bolted into the original holes that the wind visors used, so you do not have to drill into the boat. I put rubber on the bottom of the btacket so that it would not scratch the paint on my bow. I have made them out of 1/4" and they are too flimsy. I am still working on a filler, for on the backside of the bracket.
You also have to have your cover remade. I brought my old cover as a pattern and my upholsty guy charged me 500.00 this was for a all new cockpit cover, with a soft insert for wher the cover touches the windshield.

I would say I could duplicate this to sell for 800.00 + instalation (hourly rate)
The biggest problem is I would like to have the boat at my shop to fit the windshield. With out the boat you would have to drill your own holes in the bracket.

If you guy's have any questions about this I will be happy to share my info, or do the work for you. I will post more pics next time I take the boat out.
I respond much quicker to E-mail than the forums
