Default deflector or "windjammer"

Anyone ever used one of these? http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...8&dept_id=1402 I saw one on the highway today, but never got a chance to talk with driver. I had my DD so didn't ever attract the attention of the Vette's driver.

Overpriced in my opinion. I use ventmasters, they cost about a third of what that thing does and work awesome.

So it just cuts down on interior noise by keeping the trunk lid open? Does it work with the top down?

Yes and yes. The only time I use them though is when the top is off. Above 70mph they don't work as well but up until that point they help make the ride much more comfortable. They also fit in your glove box when not in use. I don't know where you'd put that windjammer thing when not in use. The only issue I've had is occasionally someone will tell me my hatch is open.
