My first and maybe only aero mod for Benzilla?

I am going to make some strakes in front of the front wheels of my Benz.

Here is a view of it on the road.


The main reason that I am adding it is because the front wheels are well exposed from the front.

I have thought about bringing a front skirt down across the front of the car but with the condition of our roads in winter I think it to be unwise.

I plan on constructing the strakes like I made them for my camo minivan. Use a wire frame that has cloth stretched over it to use it as a mold for building up with composite.
