2023 wind buffeting

[spaghettog]

Just installed the eBay buffeting kit on my '23. Looks great and stopped the buffeting, but has anyone noticed a whistling sound with their windows up/closed after installing theirs? I'm noticing a pretty loud whistling from the passenger side once I get above 50mph+.

I did remove the passenger side and still noticed the whistling. Maybe it's just my car? Curious if anyone experienced the same thing and if they found a fix.

I put the ebay kit on the first day of ownership and haven't heard any sort of whistling.

Wind buffeting is absolutely still a problem on 2023's. I'm not sure how people aren't noticing it. However, after adding the ebay solution, this car has less buffeting than most I've owned.

Would check your window seal and make sure the door is closed tight.

I’ve had the AWE kit since week 1 of having the car. Didn’t really help with the windows down if I’m being honest. Feels like a wasted $100

First person I’ve heard say they’ve not had a good experience with the AWE Foilers. Wonder what’s different.

I have ebay anti wind buffeting and have no problems with them whistling. Check your mirror caps or any loose trim around the windows?

No clue if it has to do with being a 2023? Maybe expectations are too high? Literally took the awful choppy noise and cut it in half. Still plenty there and annoying.

I'm using 3d printed ones on a 2021, before it WOULD buffet at like 40-70mph, now the buffetting starts around 80 and gets worse as you go faster, but on track with a helmet you don't really notice it.

You sure you installed the correctly. Seen a few locals with them and they had the AWE logo vertical and not horizontal and parallel with the ground.

Exactly like this. I think someone would be hard pressed to put them upside down...even if you did, should still deflect wind and help.

I have the ebay ones (that look similar to the Verus). Completely eliminated the buffeting with windows down up to about 115, but even then it was just there slightly, not migraine inducing.
Also it might be placebo, but I feel like there's less wind noise with the windows up too. Would highly recommend

I'm quite biased, but my ESSENTIALLY FREE solution still kicks serious ass. The MY23 cars are no different in regards to the buffeting, as in, it's totally still there, and it's annoying as shit.

I have the ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/184838164575) ones, and also had AMS ones previously. Both work pretty good, although the ebay ones look nicer.

There was a point with the AMS ones where I kind of wondered if they really made that big a difference, but when I took them off it was extremely obvious they worked... like its still loud still with either kit on, but without any foilers it was just painful. WHUBWHUBWHUBWHUBWHUB blasting your eardrums.

I bought the wind deflectors off eBay from the links in this thread. They came with something like 3M tape and some "adhesive" in a small tube. As no instructions came in the box, I am a bit confused on how to install.

I was just going to put the tape on the deflectors and then put them on the Supra, but the tape does not seem nearly as good as 3M tape. You can see below how I already put the tape on the one deflector.


Anyone know if I just use the provided tape? What would I use the adhesive for? Should I use actual 3M tape and be done with it?

I run the CF AMS set on mine. No junk tape, no whistling.. it’s been on the car since 4 yrs ago. Works perfectly.
