I think the door edge guard looks much better. The gloss black matches the surrounding area perfectly and unless you look for it you don't know it's there. I don't think I'd want to see this every time I got into my car.

Totally agree that the door edge guard is much less conspicuous and same price range. You wouldn't even know it was there. I would try that over the floor molding. I've been using the door edge guard for months and forget that it is even there as it blends in easily with the car.

That kinda looks like something kids would do to a 1993 civic.. just sayin'

Which is why I spent some $$$ to put some nice bits on my new car

I got the Twisted Tuning gloss black solution & couldn't be happier

They flat out work, windows up, down, one up one down, any speed you like

I assume ones of a similar design will work equally as well

This was made before any of the other options were available... I needed something as the buffetting was driving me crazy... I now have the $8 amazon door gaurd solution...

I went with the $8 amazon special and it works great. You can barely tell it's on there and takes about 5 mins to install. This completely eliminated the 40-55 mph buffeting. Unless you have cash burning a hole in your pocket or just have to have your car dripping in carbon fiber, I would save your money for other mods and just go the cheap route here.

These are the ones I ordered: Hypersonic Black Car Door Edge Guard Trim Molding Crash Scratch Protector 4PCS

It comes with four of them. Two have Hypersonic logos and two do not. You have to cut about a half an inch on the bottom of them to fit. I used the ones with logos on them to practice on before cutting the ones without the logos. It's a rubber-like material and cuts fairly easily with just normal scissors. Before sticking them to the car, I wiped off the area with isopropyl alcohol to make sure it was all clean.

wow... what a HUGE difference it makes.. i wanted to be safe and replaced the double sided tape it came with with a 3M (the gray one used for like duckbills, thought it would be stronger) dont want it flying off on the freeway.

@Mehster
Managed to pick up a set of hypersonic from Amazon. Selling fast like hotcakes.

Many thanks for the quick fix.

Credit goes to @CarGuy11 and the others who discovered them. I'm just vouching that it works great! Someone needs to reach out to Hypersonic and show them this thread. They can pre-cut them, label them for A90/Supra MK5 on Amazon, and mark them up $50 haha. Still a great deal compared to the carbon fiber and painted ones going for big money.

Please god we need a fix for this!

Car guy 11 on YouTube suggested a fix for like $6 so I bought one of these there is 4 in package and it looks factory and works unbelievably I got it off amazon
