            Surely you don't need two. Give me one ;)

              Got one here. Well worth the money, especially when you're going down the highway with it and the windows up and you don't have any wind in the cabin.

                      too bad we didnt try to get a group buy together...

                        Personally, i don't get these. Isn't having the wind blow through your hair part of owning a convertible? If i want the windows up and a rear deflector i"ll put the damn top up

                            I've tried the aftermarket (Raceland & Love the Ride) and OEM windblockers and there is a difference between the two of them, but is the difference worth the extra price you pay for the OEM one? Only you can decide.

                            I prefer the OEM windblocker as it fit much better when installed and it reduced turbulence more than the aftermarket one.

                            You can see installed comparison pics of the aftermarket "Love the Ride" vs. OEM windblocker in my sig link.

                              Apparently ya'lls females need a talking too. My wife and two kids ride in my e30 with the top down. And they all love it. And the average trip from my house is about 20 min with a average speed of 45 so its not like its a loop around the hood

                                well it depends on if she has short hair or curls it before you go out on a date

                                but it should be obvious just hopping in with the kids with hair tied back in a ponytail isn't what I'm talking about

                                and if your wife has long hair and it's whipping around in her face the fact she's not complaining about it doesn't mean it's enjoyable she just being a good soldier at that point

                                my wife didn't complain either but she sure did tell me how much more she enjoyed cruises along PCH from Irvine to Laguna Beach in the evenings after I got my windscreen
                                (and 45 isn't very fast to a southern californian. you'd get run off the road at that speed. take them on the freeway at 80 and see how enjoyable everyone finds the trip after a half an hour and get back to us...these aren't permanent. they flip down when you want the wind in your hair. 3pm on the way to the beach the screen is down. 8pm on the way home the heated seats are on and the top is up and it's a clear starry roofless night with all the creature comforts of a hardtop)
                                Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!
