Default VettNet for Convertibles

I just purchased an 03 50th anniversary Convertible, (totaled my 03 ZO6). I was looking for some feed back on any body that has the "VetteNet" and if really help reduce cabin air turbulence. This is my first convertible.

I got one last Nov. It makes a BIG diference. You can talk in a normal voice and you don't get the buffiting. It makes the open air driving more enjoyable.

I have found driving with both windows up in my vert helps cut down on the wind quite a lot. This does take away from the open air effect that I personally like. Can't have it both ways.

It does help on cooler days/nites. Keeps the cabin quite so I can hear my wife keep telling me to slow down. Works best on the highway. Can hear the bose alot better.
