I'm thinking about ordering the aero screen from Rick's but would like to hear from you guys on what size to order,clear vs. tinted and how easy is it to install.
I've seen a picture of it on Rick's web site,it looks to be the larger size because it's even with the roll bars.I'm always catching flack from my wife about her hair getting messed up if I drop the top.I tell her your hair blowin in the wind is part of the experience...she ain't buyin it.
Here's a link to a thread I responded to last week. In this thread I put in another link to a thread from last year where I did a cabin turbulence experiment. Some of your questions may be answered there.
I got the full size but in retrospect I should have gotten the 7/8 size. It would make opening the secret compartment door much easier. The tinted one may cause too much of a reflection in your rear view mirror. The clear one is manageable. The install is straight forward but requires some care, dexterity and time to do it right. Of course, you know that you need the OEM windscreen as the starting point, right? Get the "S2000" engraved one and paint that part - looks cool. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=43028
If you get a 7/8, make sure that you tell folks that work on your car not to have the thing down when they decide to lower your top. I had mine for three weeks, took it in for a detail (forgot to tell them), and SNAP!!! It broke right in half!!! Luckily, it didn't damage the window...
Originally posted by DAR So it's 7/8 of an inch taller than the deflector that comes standard on the car..correct?..that really makes that much of a difference?
No. Full size = 8/8. 7/8ths of the full size. As indicated in my experiment, changing from OEM to even full size makes only a marginal amount difference. You gotta have the "full meal deal" if cabin turbulence is an issue for you.
The aeroscreen works really well. There's no vibration or anything at high speeds (100+ mph). Definitely one of the best mods I've ever had done to the car.
