They look cool, but I agree with Tourigjm that they are not appropriate for MPG.

Ugh, not only do I think those look downright ugly, I agree with you both that this would negatively impact fuel economy... why on earth would anyone want to install those things?


Today I was on the freeway and I took a glimpse at a corolla S

Now I've seen em plenty of times before but this time i happened to notice the back little plastic things that they have:



Those thins apparently serve a purpose... they close up the curve gap at the bottom of the wheel, making the air go flush to the very back of the car... perhaps I could just buy these and not have to worry about making an additional extension...



Good Idea, bad idea?


you can see how this thing eliminates the curvature at the bottom...
