Isn't 1 and 2 the same thing? No, it doesn't get in the way, it takes all of 2 minutes (literally) to install the headrest wind blockers and it does not get in the way of your head at all. I have the headrest blockers and the 7/8.

Yeah, both are addressing the same thing. I'm just trying to figure out which way to go. I assume either the headrests or the Major Havoc's block about the same amount of air.

(I am editing this portion due to my own misunderstanding of what was being asked - sorry for any confusion this may have caused).
The headrests and the M. Havoc inserts do the same task. However, one can go another step further by installing some kind of insert into the roll hoops as well.
Now, having drilled out my windscreen, the turbulence is about as minimized as it's going to get. As I stated in those threads, it is better to try to "control" the wind than it is to try and stop it altogether.

jeffwool, I have gotten quite fond of the OEM '04 rear wing. I realize some people still think it's just a bit too much and don't like it but I've always like wings as opposed to rear lips. It suits the back contours of my car better than my old Neon wing. If I were to do it all over again, I might even go with the bigger Feels replica wing that 4IG had the GB on.

I'm confused.

The Major Havoc wind blockers I purchased and installed go in my headrest......not the roll hoop as stated.
They are pressed between the rear plastic part of the seat and the mesh in the headrest itself.

The Rick's Headrest is a cushion that fills up the space in the headrest area - where the mesh is - and protrudes a bit with some cusioning.

If these things are correct.......then I would like to know what product you are referring to that fills the ROLL HOOP area. Definitely worth looking into.

Thanx,
Hockey

So far, the only other device to fill the roll hoop is the S-Pod.

I suppose blocking that area, even with a thin black acrylic piece, would help quiet the cabin/wind buffeting.

Any reason why I shouldn't go get some pieces cut?
(probably fitment issues - huh)

Attachment is a PITA. I don't think anyone wants to drill into the hoops. Also getting the exact shape is a tedious process. I used a bead of black silicone to hold the plexi in - kinda like in the old days when they used putty to hold glass in a window frame.
Although it would sound goofy, the perfect solution would be to pull a leg of a panty hose over each hoop but what would your neighbours think?

I know this has been debated to death, but in YOUR opinion, do you feel the wing has any function at speed, ie downforce. I remember on a post a few months? back that a couple of Honda engineers said the OEM parts (lip, spoiler, wing) did have some aerodynamic effect. Just wondered what you thought. I did not like the pictures of the wing, but then I saw it in person on a Sebring Silver and thought it was pretty sweet. It added to a more aggressive look IMO. I'm still kind of debating whether to get one. My Suzuka should be here, hopefully by mid March.
