Wind restrictor question
WIND RESTRICTOR QUESTION
Just wondering if you guys that have one have tried the RPI designs one? I like the look of them especially at night when it is lite up,i sure they help a little on wind but was wondering what would be a good one to buy without drilling into the car?

Not sure about the one from RPI designs but I purchased mine from WindRestrictor.com - Have nothing but good things to say, they worked with me to design exactly as I wanted anf the installation was very easy.

I second WindRestrictor.com. I used them for the custom one on my Mercedes SLK. Very reasonable price and actually had them do the installation for me for chump change. Have had the product in that car for 3 years and it is great quality. Mine had custom artwork and illumination.

Does the multi color option illuminate in Orange or can you get Oranage as a stand alone? Can you stop at a specific color light instead of just cycling through colors? Also, is there an installation vid for the C7 coupe? I'm more interested in the wiring to get the restrictor to illuminate.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Yes, I checked out their site and they offer the exact configuration I would like. Did you get one color or the multiple colors option? Do you know if you get the multiple colors lights if you can hold the light at a particular color?

Not sure about the multi light setup. I got red to go with the LBR paint job. The ONLY drawback/weird thing about it is that when you look in your rearview mirror you see what's in front of you as well as what's behind you. It kinda freaks ya out the first time but you get used to it fast.
I think mine was $450 or something like that. Worth every penny. Buy it.

Just ordered the C7 Z06 Multicolored with quick disconnect and hard wire install from windrestrictor.com. Spoke to Robin on the phone and watched all the on line install videos over the weekend which answered all my questions. FYI, if you put corvette channel in the promo section when ordering or give them that code when on the phone they give you a extremely generous discount off the total. I will take pictures once installed.

you can talk without raising your voice you can listen to the radio with the top down, Added benefit it extends the season of top down comfortable to 58 degree with the sun shining. Hard to give a percent. In the cool weather it helps to have the side windows up
