R52 windstop ?

i was checking at local dealer on the OEM windstops and they list two different ones for the car

one all black for around $400

one has checkered pattern on it and is $200

am wondering if anyone has seen both and can comment of the difference between them
is one of a different quality or design?

thanks

that is an OEM that has the checkered flag on it
original list was around $200, but they are NLA

there is another OEM one for the 1st gen that lists for $400, all black

i am wondering what the difference is other than the checkered flag on the screen and price

Ok if you say but whereas my hearing is not the best, that thing has no checkerboard only asphalt under the black mesh.

I stand corrected, I did not view all the photos. It appears the that one has the upright checkered whereas I am thinking the Gen2 the horizontal is checkered.

I have the black one (still available) and the checkered one is nla ( 5434039051 ) for the Gen 1 ( r52), but the Gen 2 (R57) version will fit gen 1 and vice versa. Gen 2 has a checkered and black version also but they changed the design a little. Checkered one comes with little pockets and chrome trim.
