987 Wind stop

haha, my bf said that porsche only sells you half the car. The other half must be purchase separately...through all the accessories!

Yeah, I always say that everything's an option on a porsche. "Oh, you want a steering wheel? Sure, we can get you one of those..."

Considering that they want to charge $350 or so for a chrome tailpipe, $400 or so for the windstop doesn't surprise me.

And no, I've never had any problems with anything popping off, so far at speeds up to 115 MPH.

I don't know if those plexiglass additions over the mesh grilles inserted into the roll bars would make much difference. I've considered finding out, but don't really care.

What I notice is that all the wind I feel now is mostly on the top of my head. If you drive an SLK, the first thing you notice is that the top of your head isn't getting blown around nearly as much as in a Boxster.

Not that that's a good reason to get the SLK.

hehe, I am quite sure that porsche did its own demographics studies and found that if the owner can front the money for the expensive car, they can afford expensive accessories. :ah: However, that piece of plastic is like $1. I am going to have to go to China and see if I can get some knock offs! lol This is the reason why they are the most profitable car company in the world. Instead of keep getting sticker shock, I think I have to accept reality! Porsche...please take more of my money lol
