Thank you. Seeing that I will at least give it a try. It would be nice to reduce the highway wind noise.

I never got to watch the full episode and always wonder how it turned out. I had to quit watching at the point he was trying to print out email records on flash paper to burn them and destroy the evidence - but the laser printer kept burning the flash paper. Damn, that was some good TV. I haven't seen a man put together a plan that solid since Geraldo Rivera opened up Al Capone's vault...

Awesome! Thanks for all the good info. Especially the 100 bill gig. Looks Like I need to add a windscreen to the list of goodies to buy...

Very quiet with the top down........... even with Billy Boat exhaust system.

I do notice belt whine a lot more with the soft top up, less so with the hard top on......... curious.......

You pushed that thing to its spatial limitation. Nice!

My car with wind deflector down and two golf bags underneath. You could also fit two duffle bags in the foot wells behind the seats if you wanted to.



You can can also put the top up with the wind deflector on and in the up position.

I've done that a lot over the years, then one day discovered I'd dented and scratched the seatbacks with all of the jostling of the bags and sticks. DOH!

My car came with a wind deflector and I tested both with and without it. Since I have little kids, I decided to leave the deflector in permanent storage (along with the leather bra).

Because I've done the Gundo Hack, my car is significantly louder with the top down or with the top up and windows down for that matter.

But I've always liked how these Porsche's can be driven with the top down and it's not a tornado in the car. Especially in a downpour at 80mph (the inside of the car is dry).
