Default any wind deflectors similar to those in

i am interested in seeing if there is anything available like those black ones found as options on german cars. i was in my friends 325i years ago and remember how nice it was with the screen.

Any options out there for us such as a universal application or a retrofit of an existing part?

You mean those "mesh" things? Kinda like this? ........................................

This was the best turbulence control device of all the ones I experimented with. Unfortunately, it looked ugly on this car and it impeded the opening of the secret compartment. Nothing commercially available. You'll have to make your own.

yes they look like a big fly swatter. i was out the other day and saw a boxter with one and i am thinking why can we not make it work. i am going to do some research, and try to guinea pig it to see if i can come up with something that works great and is installed like an oem piece.

anyone try this???

This is as far as I got and what I am currently using:


Along with the roll hoop inserts and headrest pads (now covered with Okole Wet seat covers), this had worked pretty well.

You guys do realize Rick sells this, right?



I'm going to be ordering one the next time I buy anything else from him.

I know exactly the type of screen you're talking about. It was one of the major things I liked about the z4... you could almost make the car as quiet as a targa top by using the screen and putting the windows up. Unfortunately, I've never seen such an item for the S2000. I'm sure it could be made, but you'd have to have some patience.
