Thanks hbatts, I take that you changed-over to the taller hoops? Good to know that I can swap to the shorter ones if for some reason I decided to. What did you use for a center-mount rear-view mirror?
Ken - tend to agree, but I'm tall enough to want the (admittedly modest) improved wind protection of the Fairbourne, and was thinking that the taller screen and the taller hoops would go OK together. At least that was my original thinking... Makes sense

It's funny to me to hear the words "Safety" or "Comfort" in the same sentence as "M3W", if you get hit, you have to realize there's not much there to save you. The point of the hoops is supposedly for roll over protection, they aren't "Head restraints" in the anti whiplash sense. It's also funny to me to hear people shorten (or just plain misuse) "Restraints" for "Rests" as if their primary purpose and design is for comfort. They're not. While I'm demonstrating my sense of humor..something always good to have in abundance with these things..the actual difference btwn the regular screen and the Fairbourne has to be negligible..granted my experience is limited to the std screen..but I don't really think the fitment of larger screens actually changes air flow quite enough to drive one without goggles anyways.
So, if you like the look, fine. But like most other kit available on the car, it's there..and rightfully so..for your entertainment only.
FWIW, I like the car with the std screen and hoops, neither are things of beauty nor do they provide much or add much else, so why accentuate that by getting the more prominent ones?

I have the factory tall screens, and have test driven a car without them. They do greatly add to the comfort of the car, but you do still need eye protection, wrap around sunglasses at the very least, because the screens do cause some air to hit you from the side.

If I wanted more comfort and wind protection I'd be driving my Suzuki, 😂. I WANT to be abused to the max by Mo !!!

if you can easily swap back and forth between them as people are saying, how safe can the hoops actually be? Sounds like there would be a tremendous weak point where you could take one out and replace the other.

I agree , they look very good but overpriced for what they are.
