Default Is raised air intake visible from within car?
I haven’t had the chance to sit in a Defender that has the raised air intake. Is it at all visible to the driver from within the car?

Yeah. It blocks a bit of the view out the front window.

I really don’t notice it at all. I’m 6’3” if that makes any difference.

There's a little bit of wind noise, but nothing compared to the expedition rack (working on a fairing for it now)

I like all the noise, it’s expected by design. It’s not an autobahn vehicle.
