Laminar Lip

I installed the Laminar Lip last Friday hoping for decreased turbulence (buffetting???) and less wind noise.  The turbulence is definately reduced, especially when tucked up under the lip.  When I used to do this with the stock windshield, I honestly couldn't tell much difference.  Due to traffic, I only tested this up to about 70 mph this morning and started to notice some turbulence at around that speed, but it is a lot less than before.  As far as wind noise goes, there is a different quality to the noise now.  I would describe it as lower pitched and less annoying, but I can't say that there is less noise.  All in all, despite the somewhat goofy appearance, I'm happy with the lip.  I'll attempt to post some pictures.

 Great to see someone has got a chance to actually test the LAMINAR LIP as I installed one in the fall of last year on my 05 500 F . I have not had a chance to test mine as we are still in winter mode up here in the GREAT WHITE NORTH .
