This is kind of important to me since I would like to make real metal side skirts for the suburban that are removeable once I cut out and replace the bondo and fiber glass around the rear wheel wells.
I was planning on installing them for road trips since most of my usual driving was at or below 55mph.
I sure wish I saw more improvement. I was really hoping to make a big change, but so far, no. dammit!!!
