MoMoris,

The airtabs inventor actually tested them in a wind tunnel on a hatchback. He showed a 4% reduction in drag. This however was done by a professional and not an amateur.

they have some of the results in a pdf but no photos of the placement http://www.airtab.com/MicrosoftWordHondaWTReportV6.pdf

They can work. You may need a wind tunnel to get it right however.
