- A little expensive for the windscreen market these days, but if you enjoy the way the mesh looks on a car I wouldn’t let that hold you back. It’s just about as effective as any plexiglass windscreen and the mounts aren’t too bad to contend with. Although not necessarily a cheap solution, it looks good and makes the drive a lot better.
- Great windscreen and fairly easy to put on. There’s at least a 60% wind reduction and 50% sound reduction when I drive on the highway now and I have taken it on many extended trips and it handles just fine. The fact that there is no warranty may seem a bit odd, but the product really does hold up well.

- Bought from the manufacturer about a year after I purchased the car. It arrived very fast and, despite what some may think, wasn’t hard to install at all. In addition, the windscreen is also retractable on the top which is a huge lifesaver when you want the top up. Overall, it probably should get at least a 5.5/7 and possibly a 6/7.
- Fits well and looks nice on the car. I like the black matte finish a lot more than the more reflective glass windscreens. Also, the mesh is more durable than glass, which I learned from firsthand experience after buying a german-made glass windscreen. The only two downsides that I think will hit most people pretty hard is the fact that air still gets through the holes and the price is pretty expensive. I hate to say it, but there are probably a few better windscreens out there for a lot less expensive.
- Good windscreen, but a very steep price. After buying this, I found a few lexan models for much cheaper that have even better ratings (as low as $90). I’m afraid the dealer-sold windscreens don’t win here.
- Very fast shipping after placing an order. This is my second windscreen from TS, and in general they do a pretty good job at making a product and ensuring it has a relatively high degree of quality. The only thing that I have found in both my windscreens from them is the degree of difficulty in putting them on the vehicle. Usually, the mounts just aren’t fitting right, but it’s nothing too serious and doesn’t really detract from the performance of the screen.
- Took longer than expected to install, but after putting it on I could definitely notice a difference in the sound while driving. As far as air reduction goes…eh, it is just OK. I think a solid blocker would work better than an actual windscreen. Too much air gets through still, I guess. Not a bad product overall, however. : )

- Excellent product and very good windblocking ability. I’ve had some mesh windscreens before, but they tend to be a problem when it comes to really keeping the wind out. This works well when keeping the wind and the noise reduced, so I am pretty satisfied with the performance of the windscreen. Will buy from again, probably.
- Customer service is very friendly and willing to help you place an order or find out the status of an existing order. I know a lot of little companies kind of slack off on the customer service since they don’t have rigid protocols and rules, but I was definitely impressed. The windblade looks awesome on the car, too.
- The etchings rock and I had to get a windscreen after getting my fiancée one. They look pretty rad on the car and are really easy to get on (Julie can do it herself). The price is also really good, and I don’t think I have been able to find a windscreen that affordable in a long time.
- Perfect cut looks like glass… Mounts in seconds… Almost feels like less air than with the top on. Everything they say it is and more. Would suggest in future.
- Only one word of advice: go with clear straps! They look a lot better than the black ones, and I ended up buying the clear ones after a couples days of having the black straps. Besides that, rides with the top down have extended well into the evening now.
