Aerodynamics is about ' feel ' as well as maths , and working this way allows us to offer aesthetically unique products with excellent aerodynamic protection and minimum turbulence values ". WRS windshields are made in high-quality acrylic
( Plexiglas PMMA ), which guarantees an excellent " transmittance " ( ability to pass the light ) and correct optical clarity . " They are safe and on impact can absorb the energy by breaking but not shattering like glass and do not create dangerous splinters . " Our designs are so finely tuned that whether a high or a low design , we gain optimum protection from wind and rain . The basis of our designs has a more dynamic line that protects most of the body from the air , but leaves the face uncovered ".
