Like any aeromod, you need a special case to see a big effect. Eddie's video shows a special case. Incremental beneficial aero effects are small, with large downsides when done poorly. On most modern cars, the latter generally dominates as factories have wind tunnels and real engineers; if VGs were aero-salvation, they'd be on the cars now.

Somewhere in my reading,it was mentioned that automakers considered VGs.They'd have to be stamped into the sheetmetal for mass production,they'd be a challenge in a carwash,and in a pedestrian impact,if the person somehow made it over the roof,VGs would ad injury to injury.
