At the risk of being flamed, I'm posting pics of my lastest add-on to reduce the wind buffetting within the cabin. Yeah, I know, I bought a convertible so what do you expect. If this goes against your grain, leave now. You have the right to get wind in your hair, yada, yada, yada!
As I mentioned before, the greatest source of wind buffetting comes from behind you. The OEM aeroscreen does help a little but very little. I blocked the roll bar hoops and found the cabin turbulence to diminish remarkably. Blocking the area between the roll hoops was the final test and these two mods together made for quite a liveable cabin. You can talk to your passenger, hear the music without a 5 million watt amp. I have Rick's full size aeroscreen insert on order (with S2000 logo). Below are the steps in making my roll hoop plugs:
1. Made a template using aluminum foil.
2. Made a dupicate template out of cardboard from the aluminum one.
3. Used the cardboard to outline the shape onto the plexiglass.
4. The finished plexiglass plugs after grinding and sanding to fit (the blue things are the plastic protection sheets).
5. The plugs installed using little plastic stoppers with double sided carpet tape.
Can't wait for Rick's screen for the completed mod.

I have since just silicone sealed those inserts for a more solid installation:

[B]Looks great!! I was thinking about have Tap Plastics doing the same thing? Any chances that you'll be selling them?
Looks impressive my friend, definitely seems like an essential modification. It looks damn good to me, in fact! Maybe, you should consider some serious longtime production for the S2Ki benefit.
That's pretty good. I'm quite hardy about having the top down even when it's quite cold. The heater keeps the interior and your feet warm and you can angle the dash vents to blow hot air on your hands just where they rest on the wheel. I find what's really unpleasant is that icey blast which gets you right at the back of the head. I can imagine this being very effective!
i actually tried making them, but it didn't fit very well and it loses its effects at 45MPH+. The best thing to do is to have this and Rick's headrest.
Dave,
Very nice. I know that you've been playing around with the idea for a while. I must say, these latest items top your earlier prototypes, by providing an almost OEM fit and finish.
Good work Mr.
