Exactly what I was looking for. I was about to 3D print and paint my own. Thank you.

I have noise only sometimes in my 23. Its very odd. I don't have cf mirror caps just the non-cf no-option ones.

'23 here and I don't get buffeting noise unless I have all windows down and going 80+ mph, but that's the same as my previous cars so I don't mind. And I don't like windows down at high speeds anyway. I removed the trunk cover.

Same here. But even at higher speeds it doesn't seem as bad as people make it out to be... or maybe I'm going deaf from all the loud hobbies.

For me personally, it's not the volume or sound of the buffeting that bothers me but rather the pressure from it that does. I am sensitive to pressure changes so the buffeting on this car was IMMEDIATELY felt on the test drive and I knew the little plastic mirror wings would be a first purchase for me.

I think the buffeting is definitely subjective and I could see how it may not bother some but in the 20+ cars I've had over the years, this car is by far the worst with the issue to me.

Have you ever ridden or driven an 80s station wagon? That buffeting is bad. ?

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.
