who has wind stoppers?
lol, if you mean those wind blocker things you see often on alot of luxury convertibles, I really don't think 4th gen fbody verts really need them due to the rake of our windsheilds.
I really don't get too bad of turbulence compared to ALOT of the other types of convertibles I've rode in (stang, bmw 3 series, beetle, sebring, etc...).
Hell, with the window's up and the top down you can even have a normal conversation at 100mph.

I have one and it works. The little bit of wind I got before really didn't bother me but the wife didn't want to ride because her hair would end up in a knot. Picked one up and she much happier and it doesn't look bad to boot.

Yeah man , I'm really diggin mine . Best hundred dollars spent on my convertible yet . Plus it looks killer and it drops down for that cool slick look when you want to just style around . When its down it protects everything in the back seat .

I love mine as well... took it out the other day for hauling some junk and rode down the interstate. Makes you appreicate how much they really do help.
I especially like it with the top up and the windows down. Really stops the wind from buffeting (sp?)

Older post but maybe worth reviving. Definitely a personal choice but I find the F-body very non-turbulent compared to other cars. My Z3 is much worse than the T/A but I don't have a wind stop for either car. I just don't want one, plus I believe the idea of top down driving is to have the 'wind in your hair' and the feeling of the open road.
i agree. i'd get one, but keep it folded down. i want one for privacy (i want to put my nitrous bottle between the rear seats again) and as an aero piece to possibly cut down on wind drag.
i hung out with another fbody convertible owner who had one and it seemed like a real solid piece except for the rattles - i'm sure i could figure out a way to kill that.
i don't like how the tonneau covers require all that additional effort for setup/takedown and storage outside of the car, so the windstop seems like the ideal choice if it works.

I dont like them and I will keep any further comments to myself but you guys could guess where I would go. To be fair I have never used one but I have never been bothered by the wind. I guess I consider it part of the experience.

I think this is good if you want to drive it in colder weather with the top down. On a sunny day in the winter, this should keep you decently warm with the windows up and heat on. When I first got a convertible ever, the desire to drive topless was overwhelming....even in cold weather and light rain. This would have been great.
