The full side shot, it looks pretty dorky @ first but they are starting to grow on me. Plus the skirts seem to have a huge effect on my coasting but I also bumped up my tire pressure 5 psi so who knows.

Also doing some light tuft testing untill I can get a camera man, lol. I'm still getting quite a bit of turbulance around the mirror delete areas Maybe its the diamond plate's raised design causing it so I may remake some smooth ones. Also I'm getting a pretty clear picture of where the air detaches from the rear window and I hope to make some vortex generators @ the shop this weekend to maybe help that.

I also want to try some zig-zag tape to see if it helps a little.
