I don't have keyless start, so I need to insert the key everytime. No chips, no cracks so far.
Thanks again for the video. I ordered a pair of new black key fob covers, and it installed just like in the video: (the faux carbon fiber center is from a previous set of these covers).

Installed the Blackmills Aero Kit on my 991.2 CS today. I had this same kit on my 718 BS and it worked great in reducing buffeting with windows down, top up or down! They attach with 3M tape which make install a 10 minute job!






This Aero Kit is more aggressive in the outward flare which I believe makes a bigger difference in the amount of buffeting than other models.

Wow, I installed mine but required removal of the door panels. I'm anxious to see if it stays on after time. Great idea though.

The ones on my 718 were tested to over 135 mph and were rock solid after 2 years when I traded her for my 911! Prep is the key ! I cleaned the surface with alcohol, then used a 3M adhesive promoter on the surface and these are probably permanently attached. I think you would destroy the plastic trim piece trying to remove it!

Yes, pre '15 cars require removal of door panel which is quiet a painful process

Less than 24 hours, the right side key fob blade rear retention tab sheared off, leaving the right side blade loose. It fell off the fob in my drawer. I followed the instructions in the video to the letter, heard a satisfying 'pop' as the blade snapped into place. I don't handle the fob roughly, or mess with it once its on. I've kind of had enough, so I just installed a rubber fitted key cover I had to give it more visibility as well as retain the key fob blade cover in place.

If anyone knows of an actual OEM source of these, to OEM quality, let me know; I am going on a hunt for one myself. I don't want to have to buy a new key, but would be willing to spend some $ if I could find a part that would not break less than a day after install.

Nice! Wish I was aware of these before I installed mine. Good info, Thanks

I installed the AWE Wind Foiler on my 2014CS with a production date of 1/2014 and did not require removal of the door panel for the installation. I downloaded their instructions before I purchased it and removed the inside triangle trim to make sure I didn't have to remove the door panel before buying. The AWE Foiler looks OEM and does a good job of eliminating wind buffeting with the window down at highway speeds but maybe not as effective as the Blackmill at track speed and definitely worth the extra money if you have an earlier 2014 that requires the door panel removal.

I have zero problems with mine from the link I bought on Amazon from. Loving them and they still look as good as day 1.

TBH, buying OEM is probably your last bet.

There is not going to be any aftermarket set that meets expectations as everyone says theirs is better than others which is simply impossible to validate.
