Would be easy to do a comparison side to side.

Can anybody think of a way to tuft test this? I can easily stick my Go Pro to the door/ fender and monitor the tufts, but I have no idea how to mount them.
I'd put them just aft of the wheel cutouts particularly near the top. I posted some links today on the "Performance Wheel Covers" thread that show studies that demonstrate this .
I've been thinking about using High-Tack Glue Dots from U-Line. They're real sticky but peel right off with a fingernail. very strong in shear. You'd be amazed what they hold.
