Has anyone bought the new Mesh Screen windblocker from Windblox?

Here's what the ad says..

" I got so many requests for this windscreen, to construct a better version of the dealer's windscreen. If you can find the dealer's windscreen, it'll be at least $500 used, and $700 new. Then, customer's found the dealer's windscreen prone to runs, and the color of the plastic shell would fade in sunlight with time. Finally, the plastic shell of the dealer's windscreen could be poorly fit, and prone to wobble. Therefore, I constructed new style of mesh windscreen that remains tightly in place and of rugged nylon for a lifetime warranty."

The picture looks kind of bad. It would be nice if it wasn't so wrinkled up. I'm not sure if they just didn't install it carefully enough, or if using nothing but fabrics in it's construction and the constant pull of the mesh just is to much for the fabric to keep it from bunching up. You can find it on e-bay.
 
the lexan models appear to be something like those that were (are) available for the corvettes and camaros. some of those are pretty extravagant with led lighting, etc. the mesh is similar to those OEM screens supplied with 911 (porsche) cabrios. those fold up to be stored in the bonnet (front end). i just bought my XLR so i am unfamiliar with any wind buffeting, but i do have an 04 corvette and the screens are really pretty helpful as far as noise and wind buffeting reduction (all back flow of course)
 
I like the one that GM sold for a while, but not at $500, if you can find it.

This looks like a better price, but an inferior product by the looks of the pictures on Ebay. It just looks really messy.
