OMG the price! I installed the $10 amazon door protectors (you even get two sets ) and they worked for the 50-80mph whomping. I didn't go any faster with windows down so far so can't say if they're adequate for track use.

Well, this sucker is happy. Put in 34 laps at Sebring yesterday and had ZERO wind buffeting.

I'm sure you can do a solution for much cheaper.

But...if you like plug and play and knowing something fits, works, and looks high end, then the Verus piece is a great one.

Plastic ones are fantastic, I can easily cruise down the highway with the windows down. Also makes track days a lot more comfortable.

In the manual it says the windows down are only used for under 10mph and drive-thru's.

Seriously? What page is that, because that's hilarious. As if people don't drive with windows down.

Granted I don't on the highway, because I'd rather hear music than wind. But a nice calm backroad when the weather is nice, windows are absolutely down.

Just put the Verus ABS ones on today, and they definitely work. At highway speeds, I do notice a difference. Can't comment on track speeds, but for me I'm satisfied.

I had thought about 3D printing my own, but these definitely look nicer than what I would produce lol.

Mine got delivered a day before track day.

Condition: one has scratches, I cleaned both with alcohol and they had significant black powder on them. Good thing I cleaned or else the tape wouldn't have held on well.

Use: they do the job pretty good. Track day felt a lot different. Definitely recommend them for the purpose.

I bought the cheaper Verus ones and confirm that they work as intended. They also are a high quality piece and fit well and look OEM.

Interesting and simple solution for the wind buffeting, maybe something i should try to copy on my old non ac car. Though i find it strange that you guys run wide open windows on track. Here its not allowed for safety reasons unless you have window nets.
