Windjammer Fairing

Have any of you C5 Coup or vert owners ever tried on of these? Wondering if they are worth the money, and how they really look in person.

A buddy of mine had one of these for sale, and gave it to me to try out. I never even mounted it on the car. I didn't care for the mounting system, as it didn't look to be very sturdy. I'd pass on it!

I'd rather have the top on/up than put one of those on my car.

I don't like the way it looks, not for me.

Don't even think a convertible top would be able to open/close with that on. The way it looks in the pic, seems like the top wouldnt clear it.

It takes me about 10-15 seconds to comb my hair. Way less than installing/removing one of these and WAY WAY less than it would take to get my macho-manhood back after being seen using one.

Hell I don't mind the looks that much. If I was making a trip to KC on I-70, and wanted to have my top out, I'd use it. I use to run a bra on my nose and mirrors on interstate runs to save my paint, I didn't like the looks, but I appreciated the function.

BTW: How does this mount?
