I've thought about getting one of these...or maybe making one. Do any of you guys have them? Does it really prevent air from swirling around the cabin and etc?

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you're fast.
I don't have one for my mustang, but I do have one for my semi-retired Saab Convertible. It made a huge difference, especially at highway speeds. Without it, multiple hours on interstate get kind of punishing with the constant buffeting. With the wind blocker, it is what people imagine a convertible to be--the still air of a closed car with all the open air freedom. I can't imagine that I won't eventually have one for my 07 Mustang.
I have the "Wind Baffle" which does the same thing and it works great to reduce wind and noise considerably(even better than having the top up and the windows down). The good thing about the wind baffle is that it's cheap($70-100), you can still have passengers in the back if you wanted to, and it doesn't wobble it's really sturdy. . The only complaint I have about it is the flexability of it when it comes down to moving the seats in different positions because you would have to move both of them around simultaneously otherwise you move it out of place and it doesn't work so well. It doesn;t seem to be the case with the one in the link you showed. All in all the wind screens are only great if you plan on driving on the highway really long distances with the top-down and since I don't, I no longer use it.
Finally had a nice convertible day yesterday, first time with a windblocker from lovethedrive.com. To those sure you don't need one, don't try it. You'll need one.
Putting side windows up makes little difference in wind turbulence, the windblocker behind front seats makes a huge difference. With all in place, it is the world's biggest sunroof. With all in place I can do my Highway commute to work, and still look presentable when I get there. Without the blocker, I have to wait until the trip home to put roof down.
