Everyone the rides shotty with me comments about how quiet the cabin is compared to other convertibles they've riden in.

I still feel the wind blowing through my hair. I still get all the sun and fresh air. I just can also carry on a conversation with my passenger or listen to the sucky stock Honda radio without too much problems.

I just bought aftermarket stuff for my stereo and hearing is no prob. You can also roll up your windows and that def makes a diff on wind.

Yeah, that also does help (having the windows up), but I was commenting on how there's still wind with the top down and windows down, but it's much more manageable than say, on a Mustang convertible.

if you order it from honda, i do believe it is a $800 part.
It's expensive but not that expensive. Probably closer to $160 USD whereas these aftermarket ones are closer to $100 USD.

They may indeed have paid that much. However, it's available for USD $190.90 + shipping here:

I hate seeing people driving with the top down and windows up. What's the point?

to block alot of the wind but still get the top down feeling. I do this when I have alot of papers in the passneger seat which gets blown when I have the windows down. Or if its a lil chilly.

I have tried them all: stock, Rick's and Muz's (a.k.a. Mingster's)

I also have Rick's headrests (with modification to make them stay in place), along with MajorHavoc's lexan headrests (not really needed with Rick's headrests and my modification, but it keeps the dust out of the nooks and crannies.

I can say that headrests (like Rick's) and Muz's aeroscreen are the best combination, wihtout adding something in the roll hoops (if you do that put S-pods in there). Rick's headrests blocks the wind from coming through the seats and Muz's aeroscreen holds in place better than Rick's aeroscreen replacement. Rick's aeroscreen is just a replacement piece of lexan for the stock windscreen and it is slightly thinner. If you don't put something into the mix when you replace the screen it creaks like a banshee on a drive. My first one cracked out (a common "feature"). Then because the stock aeroscreen has a hinge it moves, back and forth with turbulence You have to connect bumpers to keep the aeroscreen from moving all over the place. I actually had it pop down (backwards) on a drive providing zero deflection.

Bottom line, they are both nice, but for the hard core road warrier Muz's aeroscreen and a pair of headrests (or Major Havoc's lexan blockers) are the best combination.

Oh, and you can quikly replace Muz's aeroscreen with the stock (for those with one).
