It won't do a darn thing for you to put dimples on your car/truck.

I started up here in Ecomodder 3 years ago with this exact idea "Magnetic Stick-on Dimples" and have since learned a huge amount regarding aerodynamics.

Read this for starters. There's a statement about dimples in there for you.

HotRod Mag Aero Article

Search the site for A LOT of info.

My part in this discussion is over.

I actually will most likely believe you all. Especially after looking through and reading some information from members who have tried similar ideas on their cars and have some data to report. I guess the good thing is that even if it doesn't reduce drag it may help reduce engine noise, help keep a bit more heat in the engine compartment, and keep heat from penetrating through the roof into the interior of the car in hot Florida summers. So I guess there might be other benefits from this Thanks for the input guys!
