Default C5 custom wind buffer - "Vette Net"

Mid America sells a "Vette Net" for $349-$430. Supposedly, this is supposted to eliminate wind and turbulence in the cockpit, allowing you to hear the radio and carry on conversations while driving (with the top down, of course). 2 questions:
1) Does it really work and is it worth the money?
2) Does it really stay in the car (and not fly out) if driving above the speed limit?

I don't have one, but I've only heard good things about it from members who have them.

I believe you have to remove them every time you want to put the top up, and that's not worth the hassle for me - not to mention the price.

To me C5 verts seem pretty quiet at speed.

My exact answer! And its VERY EASY to use 2 min in-1 min out, right to the trunk. And it looks pretty cool. Its worth it.
