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.
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.

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.

I have the exact same ones and they look and work perfectly - at half the cost of all the Supra taxed versions out there.

Having said this, I always remove the tape and apply genuine 3M VHB if I ever have a doubt about how genuine it is, just to be sure.
