Default vert owners with vetnet buffers

I am looking to purchase the vetnet buffer for my 02 vert but i thought i would see if anybody has one and how they liked it before i spent 350.00 on one and i am looking at the new one that is out now not the screen one.

Just talked with VetNet, if there are 5 or more of us that will order the basic black model they will do a special price of $300.00 + shipping.

Just let me know if you are willing to do it and I will set it up for you.

We had one on our 2000 and then moved it to the 2003 and I really liked it for lower speeds (up to 65) above that it does cut down on the heavy buffeting. I would buy another one if I still had a vert.

I'll jump in on this. My wife went for a ride in a friends with one and said it really helped. Me, I'd ride my motorcycle without a helmet, so I kind of like the wind Anyhow, let me know when to order. And thanks to Vettenet for helping out.

West Coast Corvettes is clearing out their stock of the older type Vette Nets - regularly $399, clearance price $199 plus shipping. Looks like they only have colors of Anniversary Red, Pewter and Green left, but for this price, one could have it painted and still save money.
