So, obviously, it needs bigger dimples... Those look like negligible dimples.....lol..After reading the link
Fastskinz Dimpled Golf Ball Fuel Economy - 430-mile 2009 Ford Flex vs Ford Flex Aero Test - Popular Mechanics

From the link: Mythbuster's dimples were made into a thick layer of clay and were much more to scale with a golf ball dimple, and in fact, the dimples in this vinyl wrap are so small and not a gradual shape anyway, so not sure why anyone would think this would work.

So the vinyl wrap thing...only works over land-speed record speeds..and only works to improve mph, not mpg...at top speeds..

cool thanks
