One of the few times you can get away with asking this of a lady.

True! I assure you my intentions were innocent.

LOL! Thanks for the reply and understanding. I like a wheel with a lip on them and most designs nowadays are flush. They look great on there.

Had one on my 09. Currently struggling with the wife on getting one for the new Stang, purchasing the new GT was a struggle in and of itself LOL. If you got a convertible, you gotta go in style though. Stole these from the General Forums area. Shhhhhh LOL

For their dedication to open car driving and their willingness to share with all, especially those who think it's too cold to "drop the top".

Hey, I have my top down today.**

thanks, those look very similar to a set of Stern ST-5 wheels I had on a previous car. looks great. how wide in the rear?

Yeah, totally digging on the wheel with a lip, if I ever go aftermarket, I'll definitely do something like that 2/3 piece polished or brushed deep lips, painted center sections (black or graphite or something).

Very cool.

I emailed the mfgr about how it mounts, but I was disappointed that all he said was:
"Sorry don’t have any clear photos. This should give you an idea though. You’re looking at a 10 minute installation. It’s a leave in place design, works with top up. Does not block off rear seats either. Also, allows for full seat travel. Full install with photos will come in the box for you. Only 279 + shipping.

Video. [ame]

It’s good to have your interest. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
PS. Forgot to mention, will not interfere with (CDC Light) BAR."

NowInSixth, Can you describe how it mounted on your 2009 Mustang? I don't like the idea of 'leave in place' design at all. My first choice is a design where you can fold it down when desired or remove it and place in storage bag in trunk, like regular fabric windscreens. I might go to tap plastics to check on the cost of cutting a piece of clear Polycarbonate, but I actually prefer the look of the black mesh windsreens over a plastic panel.

I was literally more impressed to have it backed to the instrumental of "Blank Space" than anything. That song was my jam when it first came out. I'm playing this video all the way through just to listen to the instrumental, lol.

Based on your experience, is the deflector really necessary with all windows up?

Based on your experience, is the deflector really necessary with all windows up?

with the top down and the deflector up, and the windows down, wind is cut in half. enough that my hair might be moving around a bit but it's not getting tangled to hell. with the top down and the deflector up and the windows up, there is literally a "light breeze" coming through the cabin until around 100mph. barely enough to make my long hair move around. I'm warm enough in the car till down to about 40-45 degrees.

but with the deflector in place, even with the windows down, top down and deflector down, wind is still cut down, but there's still plenty. Keep in mind this my deflector. This came out of my '13 and is now in my '16.

even with the windows down, ......

down?

 

[TheDivaDanielle]

down?

down.

Having owned both a mesh and acrylic wind deflectors, the acrylic wins hands down. Lexan is going to cost about 50% more. To have my One-of cost me about $300. I have one of the WindRestrictors on order and plan to have it tinted before installing it. Also, the mesh did not hold up well after a year of California Sun, the acrylic still looks almost as good as the day I first installed it on the "11.

So put up and take down in 10 minutes... vs. the mesh design take down/put up in three minutes.

I have yet to see one in person, but I like the look of the mesh vs. the plastic, lights, and pony.

I'm looking at maybe the ford version due out next month or couple of months or the "love to drive" version for $425.

Thanks for the vids... good stuff.

VMB6s are finally on. Didn't have enough time to take some pictures with better lighting, but I couldn't resist snapping a few pics. Gonna get some MUCH better ones tomorrow for damn sure.

Posted a few more in my build thread, but I'll just post three here for now.

Still getting used to them in pictures, but so far I'm loving them!

They're excellent! Very jealous [emoji106]
