They are not inexpensive but worth the money IMHO. They are the OEM for Lexus mesh windscreens.

Re: Wind diffuser
The one from Windblox on eBay looks like the best choice to me. I did not want to spend $150 for the other one that I have seen on here and it did not even go over the rollbars at all. I was wondering if the others were going to work very well since they did not cover the rollbar area and now I do not have to worry.
Thanks for posting that link.

Re: Wind diffuser
I received my Windblox from Ebay last week, definately makes a big difference... and it looks nice also. Seems to be a good quality acrylic. I would recommend purchasing the clear plastic straps also, if you position the velcro that secures the strap on the underside of the rollbar, the windscreen almost looks invisible from certain angles.

Re: Wind diffuser
I was wondering if it would flop around, since there is nothing holding it down in the middle. I think the mopar has a chanel you install that keeps the middle from doing this, but it doesnt cover the whole back.
Still undecided on Mopar one and this windblox, guess I could make something for the middle to sandwich between???

Re: Wind diffuser
I was looking at the winblox just because of the tint option (and the clear straps, but maybe the black ones work better???).
I was thinking the bronze would look good, it's a nice filter color.
For a red car, get the red filter, no question about it. I'm thinking about getting the light blueish tint or bronze.

Note: It said $264.58 (that's w/the UK VAT added in), but when I added it to my cart, the price dropped to $229.81. Make sure you click "US Dollar" on the bottom right of the website, so you don't have to convert.
For $300 including shipping, I think it's worth it....looks sleek and does the job! I'm a girl, and I'd prefer not to have to put my hair back every time I want the top down. The plexiglass ones are nice, but I'd prefer function over looks.
Just wanted to share...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the only mesh ones available were from the UK...Chrysler's Parts website only shows plexiglass.
Re: Wind diffuser
By the way, for those of you who would prefer not to spend so much on a mesh one, but would like a plexiglass one that covers across the roll bars, here's one that DOES NOT have those black or clear velcro straps. This guy has received postive feedback for all the Xfire windscreens he's sold, and they're pretty cheap too:

I'm probably going to buy the mesh one because it seems to WORK the best (again, I'm not going for looks), but this one seems to be a winner with other Xfire owners too!

Re: Wind diffuser
Hey Richelle,
That's the same one I posted a while back, and it looks like the best deal out there. I like the mesh model you posted from the UK too, hmm... the mesh is better for hair huh ?
If you get the mesh one, post up a pic, I'd love to see how it really looks in a car. I like how it attaches to the car, looks more factory then the factory one with straps.
