In a Corvette convertible I wouldn't be with out a wind screen of some type.I have both types but I prefer the Windrestricter over the VetteNet.The VetteNet blocks more wind but the Wind looks a lot better.

Windrestricter all the way!! This was one of the best investments that I have made for my Vert (Outside of buying it). Strongly recommend it and I am not affiliated, just a satisfied customer.

Slightly OT, but I installed a Windrestrictor in my C5 coupe, and the difference is phenomenal. The wife no longer needs a cap to keep her hair from flying around, my ball cap doesn't threaten to take off on the highway, and the wind noise level at highway speeds is much improved. At 70mph, we only have to slightly raise our voices to get over the wind noise.


Made a heck of a difference, and the Corvette logo etch looks pretty snazzy too.

Is the effect the same on a Vert or are the coupes different?

In my "Vert" it isn't as dramatic as digi2 says but the difference is definitely noticeable, at + highway speeds with the windows up it is possible to have a conversation but with the windows down you do get some air, (the reason for the Vert)!!

Agree on the Wind Resistor. Great quality and a ton of options. Excellent customer service as well. I dealt with Ashley and she couldn’t have been more helpful and responsive.
