Did 911 Model designator door decals!!! Thought I’d add a bit of detail to the GT3 side skirts for my car. Both Suncoast and Tischer Porsche/BMW has these online at similar prices. Saved $6-10 in shipping on these shipped. Kinda like the detail it adds. 😎
Did you have Ceramic Coating on the car? Any issue installing these over a ceramic coat?
Please let us know whether the AWE foilers are worth 100 bucks. From the video, not convinced it does for the money.

Same as others I’ve had these on my car for some time, maybe even 18 months. They make a huge difference, before driving with the windows down was a right royal PITA. With them you can drive all day with drivers window down, no issues, pretty much at any speed. Like up to 130+ on the track. Best $ I’ve spent on the car.
Thanks, ordered them, but it seems it's like Jack in the Box, they don't make them till you order them and the shipping via FedEx... ONE WEEK. Faster and cheaper with the plain old PO.

I got mine from suncoast when they had them in stock and there was some sale. They shipped immediately and FWIW, it is well worth the price for the functionality it provides. I never notice any wind buffeting at all at any speed whereas before, it was pretty annoying to drive w/ window down even going 25 mph... such a terrible design flaw that they should have noticed during the development process.
I avoid Suncoast and others due to their shipping mandates. I refuse to pay for FedEx or UPS prices when it takes longer than the PO and for stuff that fits in a "if it fits it ships". A case in point is my current order from AWE. Won't be ordering from them again. I'm sure someone with a 3D printer in China will come out with a similar design and free shipping.
I refuse to subsidize UPS and FedEx nor folks who refuse to ship to AK.
But looking forward to receiving the Wednesday 8/3/22... one week for a FedEx package...

If one keeps the driver’s and the passenger side windows at different openings. it accomplishes the same aerodynamic effect (disrupts the Helmholtz resonance) that these mini air foils do. If/when I roll the driver’s window all the way down, I also roll the passenger window down roughly half way. Problem solved. I’ve not experimented with exactly how much of a difference it takes, (theoretically any difference should be sufficient) but for my purposes it works for me.

TBH the shipping wasn't exorbitant like Suncoast for example but to be told it's FedEx and it takes a week vs Priority Mail using the plain old PO... Here's what happens in my case. You're told company policy is to use one of the aforementioned shippers. Excuses range from we don't have time to deal with the PO (they do come and pick up etc.) to that's what it is (at that point I normally hang up telling them to call if they change and want my business).
So they ship and it gets flown to Anchorage eventually. It then sits there for 5 days or so waiting for a truck to be filled to be driven up the 350 miles and then handed off to the PO or simply handed to the PO in Anchorage for what they call "the last mile". UPS Ground is at least honest. You pay for UPS but it's driven to your "last mile" location.
Again AWE's charge is reasonable, just takes way longer to deliver that it should.

Definitely a "balancing act" , we'll see if it arrives before the first snow so I can test it... temp 45 this morning! Very refreshing after the high 80s and smoke from forest fires!

That's true, same if you crack open the rear of the sunroof (assuming there is one). The benefit of using these foils though is that you also don't get much air movement in the cabin.
