Default Someone needs to make a Sail panel piece !!!

Why could'nt someone make a sail panel piece that would go over the existing one on our car?? (F-body 98-2002) I would think some type of thinner plastic or flexable fiberglass of some type which would be moulded over the original, be made so that it would snap around and over the original. Make it so it is paintable and be attached with 3M tape or glue on??? I have been reading here for many years about the number of people who have the dreaded bubbles and this would be a much easier and cost effective way to correct the problem wouldn't it? Maybe 6litereater designs would be interested in such a thing? Heck you make it customizable with some sort of lip on the back edge for a custom look??? (Maybe not)
Anyone else thought of this before?

Been talked about 20 times at least. Way to big of a piece to be cost effective (especially on shipping) over just trying to repair old one or lay carbon fiber on top of existing one...

Thanks for thinking of me though
