I'm surprised at how amateur the finish and design of the dividing bar is, especially from the top.

We make a lot of our guards out of clear PETG. Each of our guys tends to do a slightly different finish on the edges. Not a big deal as they are only guards on a piece of plastic's machinery.
BUT... On the M3W as Ken pointed out, it looks unfinished on the top. You can also see that the left section does not have rounded de-burred edges, but just squared off as cut. The right side has been finished by sanding the edges round for a more finished look. So two people must have finished these, one for each side it would seem.
We do all of our clear plastic cutting on our waterjet, even the 5/16" clearance bolt holes get cut on the waterjet. The finish on these look similar to our waterjet finish, especially the left side.

When my car is delivered it will have the factory Full Windscreen, and I already bought my Fairburn screens. I will do a good comparison with photos when I can!

Let's hope so because that looks terrible on so many levels and what's with the shading?
So in regards to the opening poster, there are 7 options that I know of
The standard factory screens
The smaller factory screens that my car and a couple of others got around June 2015 only
The air deflector that the Australian model has
The Factory large 3 piece screen
The standard Fairbourne screen
The lower Fairborne screen that I haven't seen yet
The very nice one-piece large all-Perspex screen that I saw posted here once

For comparison pics of standard Fairbourne Carriages screen since their website doesn't show any detail.  Screen is 4mm thick polycarbonate I believe.  It stands 8.5 inches from body at highest central point. My dealer added a neat strip of clear sealant to interface.
