I would not be afraid to do business with Geoff and don't forget he credits back $45 when he finds out you come from this forum. Great buy.

I was looking at the photo's & it looks like the tuningshop is higher than the Adamesh model, what do you think? I also saw that on the review link that the Adamesh is rated at 5.7 & the tuningshop is 6.2
I plan on buying one of the mesh models, I just want the most wind protection possible. I know this topic has been well covered & I appreciate any additional info

Thanks

As you have seen there are three perhaps four different types -- mesh, lighted, unlighted, strapped, etc. you get the idea. I believe each one of these has advantages and disadvantages for each indivudual. Perhaps each owner would give you the pros and cons of their diffuser. Since I have the mesh I'll start with that.

Pros: Looks factory OEM, shares the design used with the BMW and Porsche. Works great. No restrictions on vision.

Cons: Cost.

You're right, Hawk Monster, good points.
We've got both, and to reduce wind turbulence the mesh is much better.

Thanks for the replies, What I would like to know is if the uk tuning shop is taller than the adamesh or if they just look that way in the forum pictures? I am definitely buying a mesh model.

I am fairly certain that both companies are selling the same product and it's just the way they are photographed. But if you want to play it safe, buy the one from tuningshop. The mesh screen is great!

Sorry I can't help with that. May I suggest checking their web sites for size or email them for the height.

Yeah wow, they look nice, but the cost is way too high for me to call it viable. Also, the shipping and conversion to the U.S. is hefty on top of the price. Between my mesh windblocker and my Windblox windscreen, I like the windblox windscreen a lot better because it is higher and is easy to see through. That's just me, though.

I'll keep my windstrictor. I like the look. It may not block all the wind, but I prefer the look....

I bought the mesh from England.....in the pic on page 7 it appears to be straight up, parallel to the roll bars....mine tilts forward maybe 1/2" from vertical.

Ordered the ADAmesh screen this week - posted separate thread - windscreen ADAMESH

Just like snowtop57 - Fedex guy came around noon today with the windscreen, unbelievable - ordered on the 24th; shipped on the 25th and here today.

Well it is a grey; windy; chilly (43 degrees)totally overcast day here in the Shenandoah Valley but had to try this thing out - so after the 2 minutes it takes to put on - drop the top and off I go. Over the mountain towards Charlottesville, VA - it got colder 39. Heat on and butt warmers fired up.
and I hate to admit - the windows were up - ouch - be kind, it's cold
Here my take on this windscreen:
  • 1st - it works better than the OEM plexi unit from Chrysler, a ton better - no but better.
  • Does it work as well as the 1 on my 97 Audi - absolutely not - in the Audi almost regardless of speed you hardly felt the air at all, it was almost like the top was still up.
  • Speeds under 70 - works well - not much air is hitting the back of your head
  • Speeds over 70 (but under 100) you feel the air, but not as much as the OEM plexi screen.
  • With the top up and the screen still in you loose a small piece of visiblity at the top of the windscreen; and the view out the back appears to be darker, could be I need to readjust the seat, but since the visiblity is not so hot anyway - I couldn't care.
  • With the screen in - the seats still go ALL the way back - so you DO NOT loose any space, thank goodness,
Overall - I would say that I am pleased with the screens performance - over joyed - not really - but it looks cooler.

Finally installed my Adamesh windscreen today, I agree with pretty much everything MAKIII had to say except I've never owned an Audi. This windscreen is a big improvement over the Windrestritcor as far as getting blown all over. The Windrestrictor is better than nothing at all so it's not a total waste of money either. I like the looks of both, but the Adamesh windscreen is definately more functional.
