It just does not seem like aerodynamics can be improved with vortex generators without a wind tunnel and an engineer, but the VGs are the market would fall into two categories:

1. Designed by engineers with access to a wind tunnel.
2. Designed by advertising to separate customers from their money.

Not only are you planning on skipping #1, but I cannot imagine how small bits of coroplast will make anything more aerodynamic.

I see you have already started making proven modifications that are popular around here. Thinking out of the box is great. We need innovation. You really want to do this, so go ahead, but please tuft test and A-B-A test fuel economy.
