*If you sell one to Tony Soprano under false pretenses ,or market through the US Mail,........... you know what Soprano will do,and The I.C.C. has very strict regulations covering mail fraud across state lines.You would have to be extremely careful about any language you applied in marketing.Car magazines as well as Consumer Report would purchase one,install it,test it,and publish their results.They all have extremely expensive,and accurate data acquisition equipment as well as data reduction software.You could never claim any result which wouldn't show up in testing.Unless your a millionaire right now,or have access to capital,you wouldn't be able to afford the scientific testing to know what you can legally claim.
*As CAFE standards are increased,vehicle undersides will become smoother and smoother.
--------- Vehicles will respond less and less to 'mods.'
--------- At some point everything will be done by the factory.
--------- Some present day vehicles are so good right now that they'd show little if any benefit from a 'kit.'
--------- Coroplast is already quite popular and 'free' to modders,and there would be no incentive to 'purchase' a kit.
--------- Would-be 'modders' would 'find' EcoModder.com online and find out pretty quick that if they're interested in a belly pan,they can fabricate one themselves out of discarded material.

I'm just playing Devil's advocate.You can serve an existing market,but it's very difficult to create a market.
