Has anyone tried the expensive ones from GMG? Just wondering if the fit, look, and performance are as good as one would expect?

3D printed my own design. Worked well @ Laguna Seca @ full speed. Cost is $10 in material. Pm me for the file. Open source to Rennlist

I have the AWE version and it looks great. Easy to install. It controls the buffeting up to about 80 mph and after that I get some partial buffeting that I can live with. I will try rolling the window up a bit and see if that helps.

I may go with these in the hope it matches the carbon on the WP.

It functions very well withthe large diffuser and compliments the Factory carbon very well!

But it's not made of carbon, right?

Just looks like it?

If you are picky, skip the AWE. They are nicely packaged but the finish / QC is not up to p-car standards.

Still the best option out there cosmetically if you don’t want to add carbon bits to the exterior...

I've got the AWE ones. I can confirm the OP's comment. Buffeting has gone from painful to mildly annoying. It's not gone. It's still very much there up around 140 mph+ or so, but at least it doesn't hurt.

Customer service from AWE was exceptional. I'd be happy to deal with them again in the future.
