Nice, clear view. No more fuzz!

Pedro should be on Porsche's R&D staff, at a strong salary. Seriously.

I've never seen a pic from this angle. Porsche sure has polished the interior. I like the new look, and that glass looks great Pedro!

I plan to buy one probably first of the year. Between ow and then, we will be travelng quite a bit and I am afraid it might end up sitting on my front porch for several weeks. Looks really good, Pedro!
Laz, thanks for the picture, but...

... it looks like the TechNOwind is not seated properly.
Are the securing clips in place?
The notch on the bottom and bottom edge of the insert should not be visible when installed properly.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Reinstalled it and that's home.

I think because of the viewpoint's vertical angle, and the refracted light coming off the bottom edge and the top corner notch, it looks especially high. Yes, the notch's top edge is about 6 or 7 mm above the interior top surface of the roll bar cover. After passing below the buttons, there's a little click. I pressed pretty hard straight down on either end and the middle, and aside from a little springiness from inside the slot, it's as far as it will go. I assumed it's good once the top corner notches clear the buttons. The crummy resolution of the iPad camera might be blurring the bottom edge highlight a bit, too, making it look higher than it actually is.

The notch is somewhat less visible than before and I was wrong about the iPad blurriness. There was also a more definitive click and visible outward movement of that side's button. Ya live an' loin.

I hope it doesn't come with that white stuff in the background. eye popping smiley

That look terrific!!! (without the s**w of course). What a difference in the rearward vision. Great looking TechNOwind, Pedro.

Here's a picture of the Porsche windstop I took at BRBS.

And thanks for posting the mesh shot. While I was out earlier I considered posting a similar comparison picture.

Nice job with the curves, Pedro. It looks way better than stock.
Excellent design work Pedro!

Nice snug fit. I may not ever remove it since it is clear. Even came with it's storage bag just like the the OEM mesh. On that mesh thing, what was Porsche thinking???
We want to see pictures smiling smiley *NM*
