Windrestrictor Received - Photos

I received my Windrestrictor today via UPS. The shipping was pretty quick and I am extremely happy with what I received. The quality is top notch and they made a custom design exactly the way I wanted it. Here's a picture comparing my standard windscreen to the tinted Windrestrictor that I received. The Porsche windscreen looks a little smaller just because of the angle of the camera. They're actually exactly the same size. Obviously from the big "S" on the Windrestrictor you can probably guess that my Boxster is an S model.

Windrestrictor Install

Installation is a snap, literally. You just pop the outer surround off the Porsche windscreen and snap it onto the Windrestrictor. Color photo instructions are included which recommend maybe using a mallet and screw driver to get the surround piece off, but I was able to do it pretty easily just with my hands. Also included was a special cleaning spray, felt cloth, and clean gloves. Obviously they want you to be able to install it without finger prints. The spray worked great after my install to clean the Windrestrictor up nicely.

S

My car is pretty much debadged - no hood crest, no wheel crests, and no "Boxster" on the rear trunk - just a red "S". So I didn't really want the Porsche crest on my Windrestrictor. Instead I carried over the S from the trunk. Windrestrictor matched the font perfectly based on a couple digital photos I e-mailed them. I think they can pretty much copy anything. The S is etched in silver on the tinted windscreen. They can do a large array of colors, but I thought the silver would look classy on the tinted windscreen.

I don't want to disappoint you guys. Of course if I'm showing off some new goodie I have to include a photo of my Assistant showing off the goods. Here she is enjoying a warm, sunny day in California and admiring my new Windrestrictor.

Thanks again for the great feedback. We've had lot's of inquiries about the tinted version... Just to clarify, our tinted version is not surface tint. It's died all the way through the product therefore you will not have to worry about peeling or fading at all......

Well as luck would have it there are more photos on the schedule for about two weeks from now. I'm finishing up a bunch of mods and then Memorial Day weekend my Assistant and I are headed over to the coast for some relaxation and a couple photo shoots of her with the car near the beach and redwoods. Sorry though, no thong photos like the Colombian girl.

Stay tuned...

Hey Windrestrictor: are you making tinted replacement windscreens (plain - no beer ads, unicorns, etc.) for "987" Boxsters?
