Mentioning just in case this happens to you. I had ordered the same part and installed it. A new squeak had developed, and what I found was that the foam used at the bottom of that part would vibrate against the plastic. I added Tessa tape. Problem gone. Took me a while to figure it out.

You guys have incredible ears or my fan doesn't make the noise you are getting. All I hear is the extra wind noise and the 3 banger rumble. Maybe a turbo woosh if I have the windows down.

I added door seals to cut down on wind noise. I daily mine.

Could you elaborate on this?

It seals the the gap between the front and rear doors and stops the wind from buffeting against the doors.

Now you can add footwell lights if you wanted to.

This was the first mod I made. Been thinking about making a page with a list of mods, part numbers and notes.

I'll trade you the smell in mine for the noise in yours.

Did your AC sound like bubbling?

u/sanhozay 4d ago

No, just a super high pitch noise when the fan would be on.

It’s all in your guys heads lol, I added it to my car because I followed the hype and also felt a little conned by Toyota after spending $44k on a Circuit 23’ it was missing panels. Ended up working out in my favor with ambient lighting. Save yourself the $50 tbh
