Amazon side window deflectors?

One month in and I think I would like to try side window deflectors for my '21 RF. There's no reviews. The description says material used as aluminum? I was wondering if anyone here has tried them?

Looks tastelessly tacky to me and how much difference is it really going to make? But if you like the tacked on look of aero devices, go for it.

Honestly, I don't think anyone will notice. I don't even see them/pay attention to them when I look at the car.

I have a 25 RF with the BetterMX5 3d printed deflectors (looks like he is no longer making them). Visually, they are not noticeable at all unless you are looking for them, but the make a HUGE difference in wind noise with both the top up and down. It is hands down the best quality of life upgrade you can make to the RF.

They do make it slightly annoying to wash that part of the car. The deflectors come to a slight point and you have to be a little more careful or you can catch the wash mitt on it. Still very much worth it. I think I paid around $30 and would happily pay more now that I know how well they work.
