It just seems that WT's were made more to follow the form before function process, so I'd really be curious to know how the JDM's compare where noise, turbulence, and water deflection are concerned.
if anything i have noticed less wind noise with the weathertechs, but i guess that all depends on how tall you are and where your ears sit - i had a huge problem with showing up at work with a mohawk on the left side of my head and they solved that problem even with the window completely down - i can only roll my window about 1/3 down without getting rain on me, but that is still much better than without them
