Confused because that appears to be NRB. Is that color coming back on line?

I love that color, and originally wanted it.

Night Race Blue.

Which is an almost black, but yet still blue and metallic color. It looks black (or Carbon Flash) in shade, but is distinctly sparkly dark blue in sunlight.

Depending upon lighting conditions, NRB could easily look like WGG.

So, it appears to me that this is not really a "Convertible Sub Section." It is simply a single convertible thread. Can we please have an actual sub-section where we can post separate convertible-related threads?

Please share your experience with windscreens/windblockers, both factory and aftermarket. I had one on my C6 and it was very worthwhile.
If you have one or have used the C7 version(s) what's your take?

I've had windscreens/windblockers in several convertible of other makes, but I don't feel the need for one in the C7. I'm not bothered by wind buffeting from the rear as is common in other convertibles.

However, I think a lot of that depends upon where you set your seat, the lower the better.

The buffeting in the C7 is nowhere as much as in the C6.

So much so that when I drive the '05, I need to pin my hair back, but don't need to in the '14.

Default LOVE my 2015 Z51, A8, 3LT with Brownstone Interior

I love that there is a new thread for Convertibles. I have owned 2 C6's and this is my first C7 and they have all been Convertibles. I just purchased my Shark Gray with Brownstone interior about three weeks ago and I LOVE it! What a HUGE difference over my C6. I am hoping that my pictures are not upside down this time!!

I have the "WindRestrictor" brand on my 2016. I only wanted because of the look with the etched Stingray Convertible and the blue LED lighting. It does cut down on some wind buffering, but it was not bad to begin with. I'm haPPY WITH IT!

I have the same color combo as your C7 on order with a mid December TPW. Love the LBR/kalahari with the chrome wheels!
