- Price is a bit steep, but I feel better buying from an authorized BMW store. The only real problem is that the other companies I have bought a deflector from ship much faster than my BMW store. Also, I am not sure that this actually works better than the others do. If you have $400 floating around for car toys, not a bad buy
- Maybe I installed it wrong, but the windscreen I got has large cracks that let wind through. Granted, I would say that over 50% of the wind is gone, but I thought for the amount of money I spent that it would work a lot better. If most windscreens are like this, I just wasted a couple hundred bucks and could have gotten a much cheaper but just as good windscreen.

- Despite the price of the product, it actually works pretty good. What I really didn’t like was the service. The first two times I called them I couldn’t reach them. When I finally did get a hold of them, they were not polite at all. That’s not how you do business in my part of the town. I don’t care if the windscreen works or not. Customer service should be a priority.
- I ended up replacing the mounting system with my own straps because it wouldn’t stop moving, but after that it worked just fine. If they just made the straps a little better, I think it would be worth the money, but until then, a few bucks reduction would be nice. Works well, though. I can definitely tell when it is on and when it wasn’t.

- Excellent windscreen and pretty cheap, too. Got it for my son for a birthday gift and he took me for a ride the next day with it on. It was nice just to carry on a conversation without the wind batting our ears and making hearing the other talk hard. That and it was cost effective.
- So far the best accessory I have purchased for my Z8. It stops wind and does a pretty good job at it, too. I’ve had mine (smoke tint, lexan, etching) for about 2 months, and it has been a perfect addition to my collection of car toys. I can hear my upgraded stereo and subs much better now, too.
- Great job on the windscreen. Looks like hours were spent into it. Wouldn’t be surprised with that quality and cut. Thanks! –Rick
- A great windscreen for a professional who has to commute. I wanted to enjoy my convertible so many times while on the hour ride to work, but never could because of the wind and my hair. Now I drive with my top down all the time, not just when I am joy riding. Worth every penny and put into it and more. Highly recommended to all Z8 drivers.
