Default Wind Restrictor Installed ...
I just installed my new Wind Restrictor, custom etched and at a GREAT price through Andrew6 here on CF. Has a switch for the lighting and is a great windbreaker ...

it looks great lighted up that way. I have a couple of questions tho about night time driving: how does it look in your rearview mirror? are you able to see thru it with the light on? (I don't even know if you're allowed to drive with them on.)

The light does not interfere when I look thru the rear view mirror.

This is on my wish list.

Part of me wants to go plain, while the other part wants to have my Airborne Wings (see avatar) etched in.

Congrats OP

I wired mine to my interior LED light-array (also from Andrew6), so I can turn it off and on with the dash button, comes on when unlocking and opening the door ... and I also have a remote-dimmer. The etching shows just a bit in the lower rear-view mirror, but mostly not so not an issue ...

They make these for coupes?

I have noticed buffeting when driving with the window down as there is no where for the wind to escape.
