I happened to try a few solutions out there, will share my thoughts and would like to hear from others.
1. First ones I tried were these no name ones.
Pros: they fit amazingly well, color matches perfectly, build quality is great too.
Cons: they help only up to about 60 mph which is definitely not enough. The lack of lip that's sticking out is the problem.
My verdict: don't buy.
2. Next were the famous ones from Hypersonic.
Pros: price.
Cons: overall looks, plus if you order now all 4 pieces will have a logo. Some also say in this post they are only good to about 60 mph.
My verdict: don't buy. I didn't want to remove a logo (will probably affect glossiness) so I didn't even try using them, but they should actually help as many of the youtubers confirm.
what I Actually got:
3. Next are the AMS ones.
Pros: they work and they do at pretty much any speed. No whistling or anything like that.
Cons: price, how it fits, the tape inside was not well aligned as if someone didn't really care - had to redo it.
My verdict: buy.
I am not 100% satisfied with how they fit — there is a piece that sticks out. I tried to reapply them couple of times and actually cracked the the left on a little bit. It almost feels like the two pieces I got were not identical (or the mirror bases on the supra are not) because one side sits better than the other. Also, I feel like the tape and it's thickness has not really been taken into account when there were designed. The tape that was factory applied was sticking out, had to redo it myself which was no fun.
4. Ordered these because you know... We're all out of our minds here a little. They look like a combination of two versions above. Will report once I get those from China.

The ones from ebay (China) arrived like 3 business days later with DHL, which is insane.
Pros: they work well and look great, tested up to 100 mph. The build quality is perfect and the color matches very well.
Cons: I still think this is a bit pricey for such piece of plastic, but comparing to all other options it's good.
My verdict: buy.
This is a definite winner for me. Came with the tape aside, which I think is the best way - to apply it yourself.
Glad I'm done with this time-and-money-wasting research.
