I can't imagine a Chrysler product fitting a GM product. Even if you could rig up something it might look really funky. Why do you want one so bad? I don't have one in any of my three 'verts and wouldn't have one for free, never mind paying $$$. Isn't the idea of a 'vert to have the wind and open sky with no hindrances? I think these F-bodies block the wind beautifully compared to other models. My ballcap doesn't even blow off at higher speeds.

I want one so i can enjoy my topless driving experience on the freeway. IMO, without one, the wind creates a turbulence and my stuff flies every where, plus the wife cant have her hair down. And she looks hot with her hair down.

LOL!! Well that explains that. Spend the $$ to get the right one. You want the car to look right, not rigged up with something that doesn't belong. Good luck!

My wife put her long hair in a ponytail. I would still get beard lash so she offered to ponytail my beard in front. I passed.. I don't want to start a fight with anyone so I will keep my opinion of windstops to myself.. (Oops)

I made it a principle in life to never start a fight with anyone that has a long beard. In my book that automatically make them a bad ***.

Although, I am interested to hear your opinion on "windstop" and as to why you have that opinion, since I am brainstorming at the idea at this point.

Well I was one of those guys that was like there's no way I would put one fo those on my car until I used my buds. I found a used one for 75.00 and gonna say one of the best non horsepower mods I've ever put on my car. Great for driving in cooler weather.

you can't find a windstop??
first place i'd check with is afterthoughts... and found they have them on sale:
http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/camconwin.html

i think i spent less on mine. it really does the trick. thing is you gotta keep the windows up when its up if you're concerned about her hairdo..
it has a way of preventing some air from getting in and back there even when its down - which is how i keep it. can't remember last time i flipped it up, but its always installed unless i've got a rear passenger.

Ahh, yes. I found them a long time ago, but for $300 shipped is a little steep for me. I know I am being cheap, but if it all comes to rest, i might just bite the bullet and get them at $300

Chuckle. I am anything but a bad ***. I just love convertibles. I guess I just really dislike the looks of a vert with one of those things up. My favorite vert was my 91 Z28 because the lines were so clean with the top down. The wind stop just seems to defeat the lines of a vert. On the other hand, I am a big supporter of owners doing what they want with their cars. My opinion is nothing more than just that. One person's opinion.

Could be good timing but I am selling my windstop with everything included. It is in excellent shape but I can no longer use it since I put a 6-point roll bar in the car. I was bummed it didn't still fit and thought about modifying it but I would probably just mess it up.

Looking for $150 obo + shipping.

Wow they must have gone WAY up on price - I'm confident I bought mine for at least $100 less than the posted price now. http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/camconwin.html Got mine at afterthoughts too.
