I am immensely curious about the Insight treatment, if anyone has anything to offer
I've done the overhead gap-filler on CRX,D-100,and T-100.
The T-100 also recently has the radius behind the tire as Insight used.This goes back to Porsche in the 1970s.
From the power-steering fluid leakage and streaking down the flanks of the truck on the last trip,I would say that the air is completely hugging the sides of the T-100.
I will eventually do the parallelogram spat but until then I give the 'Insight'-type fender tech the big thumbs up.
