I think they look good. The problem for me is that putting them on and taking them off is a pain. They would be great for day cruises in sunny weather as long as you don't have to leave the car unattended. Not worth the cost to me.

Watch out for aftermarket versions that strap to the rollbars and prevent windstop use.

Mine strap to the rollbar and I have never had a problem putting the windstop back in. How would you keep it on the car without the straps? The ears that attach to the spinlocks will not keep it on by themselves I think. Anyway, I got mine unpainted from Vertex and spent $150 to have it painted and it is till only a fraction of the OEM cost. The look is very subjective though. Seems people love it or hate it. I pretty much leave mine on all summer. If it is going to rain I'll drive a different car.

Mike,
Thanks...I checked some photos and it appears there is a rubber outline around the hump.. I am still debating $1000 worth it?

Someone is selling a set OEM red infact on 6speedonline. cheap too with the bags

I paid $550 I think for my OEM ones with bags and straps. Cost me $200 to have them painted by a dealers bodyshop.

FYI those bags from the dealer are $300. Make sure you get them in your deal.
