Those arent even the same thing for the same purpose. The item the OP was talking about fills in the air gap between the front and back door, reducing turbulence over that area and making it quieter.

The thing you just showed us is a cancerous mole on an otherwise great looking Porsche.

Just dangle a couple of dead chickens out the window about halfway down the car. They will work just as well, cost is free (minus the cost of BBs) and they will look a lot better than these solutions.

or just put bondo over the gaps and permanently seal the doors like racecars. get in through the windows. our key will open n close the windows for you to get in n out. job done! :P

just kidding. i havent seen a good solution to the problem. either they look out of place or they dont work. im interested to see if those ebay ones work. do they hide away as well?
