one more thing to add to 7944A

Very Nice
Any more Info and a large close up photo would be nice
 
Looks like you'd need to trim it around the glare shield. It looks nice, but if it's bonded to the canopy base frame, it may make it difficult or impossible to access the canopy attach nuts without damaging something.
 
RV12 canopy trim installed

The Kit installs quick and easy. Trim, paint (rattle can), apply adhesive and wait to dry. :)

I had installed the glare shield previously, so I remove a rivet and slid the trim behind the shield.

I'd love to have something like that for my -7. Short of making one myself out of metal or (ick) fiberglass, anyone know of a source for something like this?
