My question is if they work why are they not on the sides as well?

Marketing gimmick. Looks cool though.

It had to happen. Enough people have seen the mythbusters episode to now believe the dimples work on a large/slow scale.

I'm still on the fence. I want to see a real study before I'm sold. But I won't say it does not work till I see that proof either.
