Default 981 Spyder wind foils?

Anyone using them? Do they help? Application would be for top down, window down driving at > 60 mph. Currently I get a fair amount of turbulent flow into the cabin that’s borderline. Thinking about AWE Windfoils but happy to take recs for others. Note I do have the screen wind diffuser between the headrests already.

Thanks!

Have never used them, but FWIW a former Spyder owner told me over the weekend that he had great luck with them on his car and they really reduced turbulence. Sounded like for him they are a must-have mod that creates a noticeable difference.

His looked like these from AWE (only in CF):

Thanks for the info! Carbon ones are from GMG I think and close to $600. AWE are around $90. Think I might go with the latter haha

I have the black anodized aluminum ones from Blackmill on my Cayman. Not sure how they affect a convertible, but on the coupe they do a great job of adjusting just enough air flow to avoid the bassy buffetting noise with the window down.
