Thumbs up Presenting the AWE Foiler™ Wind Diffuser for the 992

You know that sound that makes your head hurt when driving with one window down? That’s wind buffeting. And we cured it. From the original pioneers and creators of the Foiler™ Wind Diffuser:
  • The elegant solution for drastically reducing Porsche 992 wind buffeting
  • Combats buffeting, both on the street and on the track
  • Simple, quick installation utilizing factory hardware and mounting points (no intense adhesives)
  • UV-stabilized injection-molded design for the perfect OE-style look
  • Allows for “single window” down driving without wind buffeting
  • Perfect OE-like fitment
  • Fits Coupe and Targa models
  • Includes driver and passenger side Foiler
What’s wind buffeting?

Do you know that sound that makes it feel like your head is going to implode when driving your Porsche at speed with one window down? That’s called wind buffeting. It happens when you’re moving fast. It was an issue on the 991, and it’s an issue on the 992. Instead of letting drivers be subject to this painful byproduct of fulfilling their need for speed, we fixed it.
The AWE Foiler™ Wind Diffuser boasts an unobtrusive yet elegant design, sharing an aesthetic with the existing trim that allows it to look as if it came on the 992 from the factory.

Crafted from UV-stabilized injection-molded plastic, the Foiler™ Wind Diffuser complements Porsche styling without calling unwanted attention. Installation is easier (and faster) than ever before, mirroring the stock trim’s mounting points as well as reusing factory hardware.

Equip with the Foiler™, roll down your window, and wave goodbye to wind buffeting. Get equipped right here.

Worm! Glad to hear from you. My pleasure. Inexpensive stocking stuffer, for sure.

Wow, you are one rad dad! That exhaust alone turned me from a life long Evo lover to appreciating the EJ25. He's going to love it.

Wow these look great, as if they came originally with the 992.

Even though I've yet to receive my 992, I know the annoyance of wind buffering in my TT as it suffers from this badly as well.

Question, is there a reason why the bottom doesn't sit close/flush to the door like the stock?

There's quite a noticeable gap when you compare the 2, but I'm assuming it's a design thing for it to be efficient in eliminating the buffering.

Wow, I am going to but these and my C4S does not even arrive until April. Makes me feel I have the first part of my 911!

@Josh/AWE I'd love to pick one up, but shipping is coming in at $30 for me. No USPS options?

Dude really? These are like $89 and you’re putting them on a $100k+ car and you’re moaning about $30 shipping?! If you have a problem with cost, PM the OP.

Ordered on 12/9 as soon as I received notification from AWE, should help tremendously at the track.
Worked flawlessly on my 991.2, 718 CGTS

I was wondering the same thing. The price is reasonable, installation easy, but the fit doesn't seem to be exact.
