Wind Noise & Buffeting Fixes

[jtsang25]

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. 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.

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.

How long did it take for you to receive them? I've paid for them almost a week ago and haven't shipped. Looked more closely at the description and it says ships within 15 days....

Took about 1 day to ship, and 4-5 days to arrive.

90% of the people in this thread don’t even own Supras anymore. ?

I was talking with Tada-san about this issue. If anyone have this issue, if you can tell me more in-depth would be great. Like How fast you were going and/or when you start getting wind buffeting.

Thanks

Thread is too long to read but did Tada-san not understand the issue bc it’s been 4 years and the wind buffeting issue hasn’t been fixed yet. Same with the fake vents.

WTF lol

Well Tada is retired. I don't think he has anything to do with the Supra anymore. Cars half way out the door. Cars are tested for emissions. Doubt they test with windows down. Every little thing to get the numbers they want.

I ordered the same eBay ones and it took a total of 6 days from placing my order to receiving it at my door. Might have been a fluke though because I wasn't expecting it for 2 weeks.

They are well worth it though even if you have to wait a bit longer. Great fitment, price, and they look OEM.

Just buy your own real 3M tape to install it with.
