Bruh. The EBay ones work perfectly and look a lot better than the Toyota afterthoughts. Why on earth would you bother?
For what it's worth, I personally want to try them because the M-Style mirror caps seem to nullify most of the benefit of most aftermarket deflectors.

Your math isn't mathing. $75+$6. I guess what I'm saying is that the EBay ones work, are already on his car and look much better than Toyota's crap. Nothing but Ls here.
It's really not that serious lol

They’re not discontinued. By law they have to be available for at least 5 years after the model year.
Does that include add-on items though? I remember reading how difficult it was to get replacement CF parts for the A91 CF Edition. If it's not discontinued, that's awesome. I vaguely do remember reading about a law requiring manufactuers to continue producting parts for X years.

Think so. But they can’t be discontinued. Now, I suppose they can be “unavailable,” *wink wink*, meaning they are truly discontinued (illegally) but they just say they’re on back-order for the rest of time as we know it.

when you say nullify, you mean that it brings back the wind issue if you already have deflectors? I was thinking of getting the m style mirror replacements but might reconsider if it just brings back the wind noise. I’ll just stick with stock if that’s the case

Is that for rock chip protection or for aerodynamics?

The front spats are for aerodynamics.

I did attempt to remove them from my bumper as I've switched to an Adro..... But I'm not exactly sure how as it didn't feel like it was going to come off. They are obviously a separate part, but its unclear how they disconnect. The spats themselves are 2 pieces that are clipped together, but it doesn't feel like that is how they are removed. I gave up before breaking them as I wasn't going to run them on the new bumper anyways.

Maybe I'll grab some photos so others can see the details

EDIT: Figured it out, there's 3M tape behind the entire outside part where it meets the bumper. So seems installable on non final edition bumpers

Small update. Called about my order today. Guy said they would refuse to release the parts unless I prove a 2026 vin (stupid). Is it ethical to use the vin of a new one listed online?

Like, the M-Style caps seem to do like 50-60% as good of a job as wind deflectors at reducing buffetting (it's not great, but it's totally bearable under 70 MPH for me with these mirror caps), but when I use the full sized buffet kits (such as the Armaspeed ones) it makes the buffeting worse somehow, especially with the window only half-open. Tried twice with 2 different deflector kits and took them both off after a week.

I'm thinking that the OEM final edition ones, because they're shorter/smaller than most aftermarket deflectors from what I can tell, won't act so poorly with the mirror caps.

Try the Auto Nation Toyota in South Austin. I was given the option of local pickup or to have it shipped for like $6. I used my 2024's VIN and did receive a call from Brett but it was just to verify I ordered the correct part.

The Final Edition has more negative front camber. The spats are there to keep the air flow cleaner.
My guess is it's actually to balance the spoiler on the trunk. Since that will add downforce to the rear it will be out of balance with the front, so a simple addition of the spats to clean up the air around the wheels and bingo a bit more in the front to bring it back in balance as the engineers intended.
