Just FYI- I found - with a very similar "flick" I have used for a couple of years now, that you only need install on one side if you run with both windows down.
It creates just enough diversion of air that the big pressure in the cabin and subsequent air dump that creates the buffeting situation does not happen.

Has anyone tried these from AWE?
http://www.awe-tuning.com/awe-tuning...-wind-diffuser
We ordered a bunch but haven't seen them yet.
I haven't seen them in person but look like a decent option with a nice, finished look for $159?
Not bad but that depends on the fit and finish......

I've done a lot of carbon fiber cycling and have been used to shattering parts by over torquing them. You really have to get the screws into the CF on these things very tight, way more than I thought it would take.
Once everything is on the car they look pretty good but can catch the sunlight and make them look kind of grey, which can stand out. Haven't had them at 120+ yet but on the freeway they seem to have helped make it a bit quieter in the cabin.

I beg your pardon, but I take exception to your incorrect insinuation about duplicating anything???
I have no idea who blackmill is but assure you a duplicate this "AIN'T." This is purely my stupid design and ignorant effort at fixing a problem that made my ears hurt and my Smartycam wobble. This is my iteration after several attempts that I know works. Nothing more. Nothing less.
But, thank you for raising the point... folks, please do NOT anticipate nice packaging or any frills. This piece is functional and simple and I'm doing nothing but passing cost straight through. My time and R&D is completely self serving and I'm just passing to my beloved GT3 crazies that have the same disease that I have
I've seen in person the stupid, expensive solutions thus far all the way to the funny, awesome home remedies made out of cardboard
This is admittedly one step more than a home remedy, but confident it will compete against the best of "commercial" products out there. Pics installed soon to come...

Need your help and recommendations
Ok, folks...
Here are a few more pics of what they look like on. Please notice the pic of the back w/ the sanded flat spot? Apparently, that's where we need to spot weld the hook to hang this piece to powder coat? (Again, I'm not an engineer). They told me it would be less expensive if we could drill a hole where they can hang vs. spot weld, than cut off and then sand down??
Anyway, the other issue is the double sided tape? I've been looking and would appreciate the collective suggestions or relationships most of the people on here probably know to suggest an adhesive product or company for the double sided tape? One thing that hit home going to Atlanta and meeting for the Porsche Action Group is that all you GT3 nutjobs (I included)
have connections and very resourceful folks.
Oh, btw I made a mistake earlier? It's made of aluminum, NOT stamped steel. Lighter.
So, let's hear the suggestions? This is owned by all of us...

John,
tape recommendation = 3m pressure sensitive two sided foam tape , I have tested to 160 with the
Blackmill product looks to be similar to your design and resolves the problem
