Default Vette Net Do they really help?

My wife does not like the buffeting of a convertible with the top down. Now mind you the only one she has been in is a Mustang we rented for a day while on vacation a couple of years ago, but she keeps telling me that we will have to leave the top up when she is riding with me in the Vette. So do the Vette Nets really work? Thanks.

I've never used the VetteNet so I can't answer your question. However, West Coast Corvettes is closing out the remainder of their stock on the older version of the VetteNet - regularly $399 now $199. It looks like the only colors they have left though are Anniversary Red, Green and Pewter. But for this price, you could paint it should you need another color. Good luck.

I got one thanks to a follow Forum member. Used it a few times in early spring and late fall. It helps but even with windows up your still gona get some. Great way to go topless when its still cold outside. Better on the interstates at speed as long as not much cross wind.

Well.... My wife said that she would not ride with me if the top was down.... She has "hair" problems... If I bought the vette she couldn't ride with me... The air flow was too much... She warned me that if I bought the Vette she probably wouldn't ride with me............
I said "OK" and bought the vette........ I bought the "Vette Net"...
It worked as advertized. The wind was less... but not enough to satisfy my wife... Sold it to a Forum member... says it works just as advertized... HIS wife loves it!!!

Oh, Well!!!!
Zooom!
