Good Morning, has anyone purchased an illuminated wind restrictor for an SRT6? if so could you comment on the quality and installation process.

Regards

Mine is a limited but the fit is the same. I purchased mine in 2007 and love it. Easy to install.

Re: wind restrictors

What is the name of your restrictor, Zeracer, and where did you get it? Did you have to move the seats forward a bit to install it?

Re: wind restrictors

Go to Windrestrictor.com. Yes on moving the seats forward but it was no big deal. Mine lights up with LEDs but you don't have to.

I may be taller than you; I'm 6'3", and the driver's seat is all the way back.

Re: wind restrictors

i also have one from the mentioned supplier. very easy to install. everything you need is included. i also have mine with the LED option. wiring took longer than the install, lol. the seat all the way back shouldn't be any kind of issue as it is in line with the middle of the roll over hoops and the seats don't interfere at all.if you choose to go with an illuminated unit you have a variety of choices as to how to light it up: with the brake light, with the running lights, or switched to turn it on as you wish. lighting is virtually invisible in the daylight so that might alter your thoughts about LED or not or how you want it to light up. personally, i don't really see a big difference in blocking the backdraft, but it looks great.

Also you can wire it up to a 2 or 4 AA battery holder and turn it on when you want. If using LEDs, they will last a long time and no need to run any wires to the car.

I put a plug end on a cigar adapter for 12V.. and purchased a 9V battery setup w/ on-off switch and added same plug - mating plug on the LED wiring ... I would hate to see how dim it would go on 6V (4 AA)
