I believe it, because its a huge aero mod that covers a lot of square footage and only gets you a minimal 3% or 4% fuel economy improvement.
While lowering the front bumper or putting in an air dam seems to have the same effect and does it with a tiny fraction of the work and materials.
Given that we have a pretty small sample size to compare the trend would lead me to test an air dam first.
