I call bull**** unless they make their aluminum tapes FLUSH with the body + SEAMLESS and the aero effect remains, THEN I would say their "static electricity dissipator or whatever" actually works... otherwise as far as I can see it, their tape act exactly as any tape you put on the body that breaks the air.
Edit: You know, putting ugly zigzag tape is not gonna help sell cars... but mixing it with some bull**** and shinny might help sell cars. Obviously normal consumer wouldn't want a brunch of zigzag tapes on their car.
