YMMV
PS these are a must if you travel w/your s/o and she has long hair, IMHO

Good stuff to know about the two designs. I wish 6LE made a lexan one as promised but we know how that went.

I agree with 99'CajunFirehawk157 that these windscreens make a big difference on the highways. We've been going on 3000+ mile road trips for the last 6 years with the car and it works fantastically. As he noted, this unit is strapless. Just takes seconds to slide in onto back seatbelt guide and lock in front sliding latches and you're off! Apologize for picture quality as my car is still in storage mode so I just pulled back the car cover and took these with my phone.

Haha, you're exactly right about that, these things are worth more than gold! Not to worry, mine isn't going anywhere.
Beautiful ride by btw!

No problem, IMO pics are truly worth a 1000 words. Yeah we live in central Canada an hour from the border, and ever since buying the Camaro from my brother in LA and driving it back home we have fallen in love with top down road trips (top down on car only, not my wife - running joke with our friends lol!). I highly recommend it to anyone with a vert like your great ride to just get out on the road with it if at all possible and explore the beautiful surroundings, whether it be the mountains in Colorado (Pikes Peak was an absolute blast to drive) or the West Coast through Oregon & California (Redwood Forrest is a must see and some very spirited driving through there.) We've been doing 7-10 day trips each summer and having the luxury of no roof (especially for the driver as you well know) is such a freeing experience in being able to view all the gorgeous scenery.

Still looking good after 20 years. Photos taken on a 5,600 miles trip along Rte 66 in OK TX NM AZ this past Spring. I posted other photos in the Firebird section and here in the Convertibles section this past May if interested in seeing more.

Just picked this up a week ago. Two prior owners, 54K miles. Needs a good cleaning and a few plastic parts. I`ll probably change the wheels as I`m not a fan of the whites. But of course I`ll keep them in storage. Very original Camaro with documents back to new. May hang on to this one for a while.

In the next pic I took the rare wind stop out and have my rare-er "light bar" installed,I like to swap it up sometimes. These too are no longer made for 4th gen f-bodies but the same company does in fact make them for mustangs AFAIK.
