Wind buffeting solutions

Has anyone tried these - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-Car...-/274328527076

I'm looking for a solution to the buffeting in a 991. The Blackmills seem like the most effective solution but look huge in pictures. I am open to the AWE solution but I have an early 991 that I believe would require door panel removal and I'd rather not get into that if possible.

Any input is appreciated!

Best,

Cyneric

For what it's worth, I went with the Blackmills. The buffeting is gone and they are less obtrusive visually than I thought they would be.

The website doesn’t give any installation details. Would you consider these removable, or are they more of a permanent install?

They are attached via 3M VHB so they are removable. It's a very strong adhesive so I'm not sure what best practice is to get it to release but they can come off. Maybe heat or really hot water like they use to remove PPF.

I installed the Blackmills Aero Kit and they are very effective in reducing buffeting! Very simple install, 10 minutes tops! Prep is key, just clean with alcohol then used 3M adhesive promoter to make a strong bond!

I should add that the kit came with alcohol swabs to prep the area for the 3M VHB tape.
