Rear:

I ordered these and installed them in January of 2000. They have really kept the gunk off the sides of my car..
But with today's gas prices..?..
As you can see, they have a cup-rim around their edges! What could be worse?

My estimate: Each one is costing about 1/4 MPG.. So, I should see a 1 MPH improvement when these are in the re-cycle bin.?.

Or, am I wrong and the flaps should actually help the cd..?.

Comments please:
