Mine (03 S) came with one but not the other (was in the trunk with other spares) and I didn't like the look of them anyway.

Let me dig it out in the next day or two and figure out which one it is. If it's the one you need, I won't likely use it or replace the missing one, so I'm sure we can work out something reasonable.

Cheers,
Tad

A black zip tie is pretty inconspicuous. I have one on each of mine.

I nearly lost the lexan portion the other day when I (apparently) didn't click it in all the way after cleaning it - not sure how to prevent that.

Thanks for the tip James, wish I had it about a week ago.

Mine have stayed in place at speeds in excess of 100mph on race track familiarization runs; however, I may zip tie mine just for the added security seeing what these things cost to replace.

They do show up on eBay every now and then; likely snatched from some unsuspecting owner's car in a parking lot (another good reason for the zip ties).
