Default Blackmill Performance Wind Deflector
Any one try these? A little obtrusive, but can’t get much easier to install

I just ordered mine. They were discussed on another thread where it seems the Blackmills had great feedback on noise reduction but was visually more obtrusive then its competitor. Will post my review next week once I receive and use it. I bought it direct from blackmill.

I've had the awe and the blackmill. The awe looks better and the blackmill functions better deflecting wind.

We carry the Blackmill Wind Diffusers as well. They're quite effective given the surface area of the lip. I'm surprised Porsche hasn't implemented a solution like this in from the factory!

I have the Blackmill and it works great. I don't mind the way it looks which is not bad IMHO and blends in with the other black bits on the car.

I was one of the first to install these deflectors on my 991 GTS 3 years ago. They work fine and match all the other black on my agate grey 991. Not a mistake.

What does the deflector do? Reduce buffeting at speed from partly opened windows? Or?

Exactly, even with windows all the way down.

Wonder if Porsche fixed this on the 992?

Might be a difference in shipping costs but it is notable that the identical product is 30% more expensive at Fabspeed compared to Soul??
