Can't wait to watch those videos when I get some time!! It would be my understanding, that in order to do the inverted wing you need a flat(ish) top of the car in order to try and get similar pressure differentials? His designs seem to literally mimic an inverted wing. Would it even be possible to achieve this, or enough of this to make it work, with the shape of an SUV?
