      As soon as pics go up, I'll be getting one even if it remotely looks good. How about the windage with the windows down?

        Looks pretty good, especially with the windows up, it looks tight.

        With the windscreen up, and the windows down.. it feels like you are in a hardtop with both driver and passenger side windows down... sooo... it feels just like you're running the windows down...

        The windscreen makes the 'vert feel like a sunroof, seriously, lol.
        Not in a bad way - you're still in a 'vert...feels like you're outside.
        BUT, it is not windy as hell...especially on the highway, it's great "performance" wise...

          They're not designed for use with the windows down, and do almost nothing. If you lay it flat it will cut a small amount of wind versus not having it at all, but the key is to use it with the windows up. It's like having a big sunroof instead of no roof.

            right.. they're definately made for when you run the windows up... that way the wind really does get cut out,

            but...even with the windows down, the windscreen does block a decent amount of wind.

            it is much windier with the windscreen down, then up.. even when running the windows down.

            either way... i run my windows up 80% of the time..

                  Wow, thats really cool. I just checked ebay, seems like that bastard is jacking up the price now to $325 buy it now! I'd rather get OEM for that price.

                    No.. you're looking at a different product...

                    Check:


                    You can actually save $10 over what I paid... just bid instead of "buy it now" ...
                    Definately worth $75 plus like $15-20 in shipping.. don't get me wrong.. it is a pretty cheap product, but for what it's worth, it does the job.

                    I'll get photos up this weekend

                          I tried to order one this last week, and they sent me an email saying 'we've uncovered a problem with our windblocker and will be refunding your money'. So maybe they're having some kind of production issues or something, but I couldn't get one.

                                different seller, different product...

                                looks better, though.

                                i tried contacting him a bunch of times before buying the one i did.. no answer,

                                also, he has a reserve, i think it clears around $200, thats the lowest it's sold for in his feedback..

                                anyway, ill try to get photos before the snow hits
