the light grey you see is the foam and yes the gaps were that big.










I ran a 100mile test loop to see what if any difference these made and road noise is reduced significantly. I set my trip report on my scan gauge outbound 37.1mpg inbound 36.9mpg for an average of 37mpg. this was on a 55mph road with many hills I am not sure if these improved milage at all but the quiet is nice

Phillip, did you happen to notice difference in noise before and after the addition of the foam to the gaps? Or, was that done all at once with the belly pans, etc.? In other words, I'm curious about how much noise reduction you may have gotten just from the foam-in-cracks trick. (I hate noise.)

PS: An indelible felt tip Magic Marker with black ink would camouflage those foam strips such that they'd not be noticeable. Do they stay in place well, or do you have to keep messing with them?
