$426 In Canadian dollars shipped for my northern brothers. I can confirm people Windschott are great to deal with prompt email responses.

Received and installed my "low" version today....I am happy I went with the low version as it extends higher than I expected.... as everyone else already said, install was super easy - took 5 minutes, and that included lowering the car lift and putting down the top. The Windschott folks were a pleasure as well - super responsive and shipped same day as I ordered it...

I was on the fence and ordered the high version but I did notice from photos that it seems very high. I’m looking forward to seeing how much of an impact it has but your lower version seems to fit the car better.

I also ordered the high version and also was on the fence and wondered if I should’ve ordered the low one. Oh well too late now. I will also report once I receive and install it.

For those of you who have this solution, does it look "finished" to you?

It seems like I am in the minority here, but the lack of a border looks strange to me for some reason....

I prefer it sans border... it sort of disappears without it... when I see photos of them with borders, all I see is the border stretching across between the headrests..

looks VERY finished to me--fit and finish are OEM-like and I don't think having a border would look as clean. Less is more here.

Default Get the "high" version

I was going to order one of each as I also couldn't decide, but the person I was emailing really recommended I don't order the low version, as the feedback they have received is that the high version does a better job for wind buffeting.

Their exact words were, "low is comparable to OEM, where high is even better!"

Ditto, which is why I put trim on the top albeit I had mine tinted to match the side windows - if mine were not tinted I may not have put the border on it. And the high version is not that much higher - they are both below the tops of the roll hoops.

Thanks, I like it as well! I am thinking about going with a thinner border though albeit I have yet to find one I like. I do have some Yellow edging from Rimskins (as well as Black) so I may try that one day when I get bored.

Mine is installed and it looks great, but I have yet to drive it as snow/salt and now it is warmer but raining.

At night, do you get reflections from the headlights of oncoming cars in the rear-view mirror with this installed? I think that's why Porsche goes with a fabric windblock.
