I would love to buy an Ultraguage but I lack the income to drop 60 bucks on something so frivolous, and don't know that I could really get much above what I'm getting now.
As far as aero goes, it depends on what you want. I have been itching to make a grille block and rear wheel well covers, but I am unwilling to have something that looks slapdash in execution... So I haven't done anything yet for lack of time to make it look "good."
I am not disappointed with my results with those restrictions. As others have mentioned it depends on your car.

Frivolous...???

I don't think so...

The instant feedback it provides tells you whether or not what you are doing is for the better or worse and is worth every penny.

The money saved will more than pay for itself in short time.

Buy one and try it. The worst that can happen if you don't like it would be selling it for a few bucks less than you payed for it to someone else.

However, I doubt you'll sell it...
