Semi-moon disc.. :)

I found some "Outdoor" duct tape at Lowes. Looking at the wrapper, it seemed
to be silver, like regular old duct tape..


check out the shorty mudflaps..


As you can see, it's really dark gray. Nowhere near the shiny silver I wanted..

Anyways, this tape job saves gas instantly! Without even starting the ICE!
My CRV is so ugly, the girls won't ride in it anymore! More gas savings!!

As for actual driving, this mod is going to be a real challenge to test.. If it works, I'll think about adding some little skirts on the back wheel wells. There is an awfully big opening just above the tires!

Maybe I should also cover over those holes in the 6 roof rack brackets.?.

Cheers,
Rich
