I really like mine, just nice knowing that whatever is back there is secure and not going to come flying forward in a quick stop or roll around. Found mine still in the wrapper in a rear compartment and put it on right away. Same with the cargo shade, I use that too.

Vette net is the wind blocker that goes behind the heads of occupants in verts. I got my dad one and he says it makes it a little eaiser to talk while driving. Don't think it is worth $400 bucks new though. Put a WTB add in the for sale section and guys will give them up for $150-250. The plexiglass ones look sharp.

I had one but I didn't like the way it changed the airflow. it caused all the dirt that comes up behind the car to land on the dash and covers it up. I ran mine once and that was it.

i had one and thought it was pretty effective (not perfect by any means, but decent). i found it was a bit of a pain since you needed to mount it and remove it to use it or to raise the top (like after you reached your destination and were going to leave the car for any time. it fits flat in the trunk, so carrying it around if you choose isn't a big deal. i decided to go with seat hoops for their look, so i sold the vettenet to help finance their purchase as you can't have both. if you are 6 foot or taller, you will need to either buy the adjustable one (newest product) or raise the mounting position using a wine bottle cork in each "leg" to raise it up an inch or so.
