vortex generators
Vortex generators are of some interest as i have just finished making nine, will be posting a few pix a soon as they are mounted.
The information that i obtained was from citroen. Vortex Generators can be mounted on the air dam or belly pan and obviously on the rear of the vehicle that you may be driving Kamm or Sedan. Citroen gives the information re size and required angles to make them effective etc.
Some of the citroen models do have them as well as Mitsubishi, the trucking industry as well as Rv's use what they call airtabs, i would think more suited to the larger type vehicles. I personally prefer the citroen type due to the shark fin style. Adding the airtabs to the belly pan may well be worthwhile examining.
Belly pans? coroplast is well suited to the belly pan with the exception of the exhaust system but there is a workable solution to get full coverage of the exhaust inclusive of the muffler. As you well know RV's have shower liners made of fiberglass which are quite flexible and resolve the problem. Used Rv parts suppliers will be more than happy to get rid of the fiberglass panels.
For possibly the many that have used coroplast for fender skirts etc and want to beautify the corrogated plastic without the application of heat and have a proffessional appearance please bear with me and i will have the pix and instructions by next week.
the subject of Vortex generators may well be covered in eccomodder as well as the fiberglass solution re exhast systems in the event that they are not i will gladly share inclusive of another area that has remained untouched.
Simply expressing a few thoughts re ecomodding
