Porsche has done this on their Boxter and on other models I believe.  easy 
enough to do and you can add some graphics to it.

Have the rest of you noticed that convertibles tend to
produce a strong windblast effect, mainly on the back
of the head and neck?  Thats not a bad thing during
the summer, when any breeze is a good thing; but
getting into cooler weather its distinctly chilly,
not to mention a major factor in my perpetually stiff
neck.  (Referring to actual stiffness, not
temperament, guys) 

A couple of days ago, I saw an MGB that might have a
solution to the problem.  I know, I know, when has an
MG ever solved anything; but this was more of a
consumer-installed option.  It was a Plexiglas shield
mounted behind the cockpit, anchored (I think,) to a
roll bar.  It took me a minute to figure out what
purpose it served, but then it seemed like a good
idea.  

Has anyone else ever tried such a thing?  Im kind of
hoping for a read on how well it would work, and
possibly some specifics as to how one would go about
installing a rear windshield, of that sort
