The material should be here Friday, so over the weekend when I'm not studying for final exams, I'll be under the car cutting, drilling, and smoothing.

Oh, is 4-mil coroplast thick enough?
Around here $13 for a 4x8 sheet isn't bad, 4mm is standard and should be fine.

How do you know about the size of the vortices? Have you done tuft testing? Do you notice a difference? I've seen other shark fin VG installations where they are inline at the center and then angled out increasing the angle as they get closer to the side of the car. From the angle of that photo it looks like yours are all inline?
