botsapper,I hope Coleman can get a look at your image of their AC units.According to Hoerner,the fairings would drop their drag to Cd 0.09,from maybe Cd 0.45 now.With that you could just leave 'em in place.Ditto for the Weingard satellite antenna housings.all that stuff could benefit.
As always,your Photo Shop skills are exemplary! You the Man!
