Funny. I was picturing a car with a "nerf bar" sticking out about 6' in front of it.
#1. I know that if something sticks out, what? 12" behind your taillights, you need a reflector. But how far in front of your headlights can it be before, I don't know, the cop isn't gonna buy, "Hey, buddy! It's just a nerf bar! Doncha 'member seeing them on '50's hotrods?"



And, then, as Frank, with such minimalism one could not accuse him of pedantry, pointed out, the optimal location would necessarily vary with air speed and direction relative to the vehicle. You would conceivably need a system that was able to instantaneously adjust the location of your plate/rod via computer and electric or hydraulic actuators. Likely in all three axes. Oh, the magnitude of the technology needed! That would almost be as complicated as, what? micromanaging each cylinder's spark event and injector duty cycle based on instantaneous readings from knock sensors? Yer right, Frank. Couldn't be done. Nothin' to see here. Move along.











Just razzin' ya, Frank.
