Is it wise to install a windscreen? Will it help to maintain my lady's hairdo with the top down? Where would I purchase one?

The Vette net is a great investment, it will save the right ear from co pilot verbal abuse about it being cold. Heather at Vette net is the gal to talk with. It might seem expensive for what it is, but it sure make the top down experience more enjoyable for the lady.

I understand that these nets work great when the windows are up

I've read that they do not make MUCH difference when the windows are down.

Do a little research so that you won't be disappointed.

One benefit:

The S/O wears contacts. Without the VetteNet she will not drive with the top down - apparently the VetteNet provides just the right amount of protection of wind turbulence to allow her contacts to not dry out when the top is down.

As others state - the best method to control the amount of wind/noise with the VetteNet is to have the windows up with the top down.

I have one - seldom use it (tuff guy ).

If you purchase one - make sure to consider having it color matched to your Vette - looks much more attractive that way.
