Windrestrictor

[Bristol]

I did a search and saw this hasn't been discussed here, so I thought I should bring it up. There's a company in Texas that is now making replacements for the Porsche windscreen on the 97-04 Boxster. Here's their website:

www.windrestrictor.com

They can make the windscreens in several different colors with custom designs etched into them and the designs can be colored too. I just received mine today and it is really EXCELLENT. Very good quality and easy to install. You just snap the surrounding edge off the Porsche windscreen and snap it onto the Windrestrictor.

My car is debadged - no hood crest, no wheel crests, and no "Boxster" on the rear trunk. I just have a red "S" on the trunk (obviously my Boxster is an S model). So for the Windrestrictor I had a silver "S" etched onto a tinted screen. They were able to match the font perfectly from a few photos I sent them. I think they can do just about any artwork. There are tons of examples in the gallery on their web page. Attached are a few photos of my Windrestrictor and it installed on my car.

i'm not so hot on the 'S' wind deflector, but that's OK, it's your car. i know the rest of it is debadged, but the rear view with 2 S's just looks a little 'essey' to me. i would prefer one or the other. ;)

i do like that the replacement wind deflectors can be colored/etched. however, it does seem a little pricey ($179 for clear/etch; $279 for colored/etch), especially for an aftermarket piece of acrylic in which you have to re-use your old frame. and those prices are supposedly 'introductory' prices. ?

Pelican sells the OEM windstop for $240, so you could probably find it somewhere else for ~$200. so i guess it's not too bad a deal considering the tinting/colors and etching.

thanks for the heads-up. :)
