The main reason I decided on plexi in the end.

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures, it looks fantastic as well as being simple and effective. And wow does it show how well it turned out.
Thank you for the compliments. My first design was overly complicated and would still create a "dam" for air to trap. So glad I scrapped it and went elemental with it.

Did you have to bend the plexiglass? If so, how did you do that?
The plexi bent on its own, it's less than 1/8" thick so it's pretty nimble. If I decide to it over again, it will be with 1/16" thick plexi, or with some other clear material that's about as thick as 2 sheets of paper.

Nice, no matter the MPG effect.
