If I am reading this right, a trip strip can be the vortex generators that I have seen some fellow EMers put on their rear diffuser?
My thought is that a 'trip strip' would be a strip. There is an example in the top row of this pic (labeled 'vortex strake'):



Can you provide a link to an example of an EM'ers diffuser with vortex generators? I spent some time on site search and came up dry.

My thought on side skirts was mud flaps behind the front tire and ahead of the rear, with an inflated tube connecting them. Or a bundle of four tubes is you want a flatter side and bottom.

Too bad about the color mismatch on the Bel-Air's door and rear quarter.
