I'm waiting for comments on how the new "WindRestrictor" works. Looks like they're selling a bunch of them but I have yet to hear if they work or not. They're available, but it seems delivery is a few weeks out. I hope someone shoots out an honest opinion of their worth.

The WindRestrictor looks a hell of a lot cleaner I think than the Vette Net. What I find interesting is its installed using 3M VHD tape, the same stuff used on sky scrapers to hold the facade on and used to assemble airplanes.

My roommate's Z4 has the OEM Wind deflector net thing. It's alright looking but it works pretty well. It'll probably be a while before we see how the WindRestrictor works, considering it's still damn cold out in most places.
