Good response but we are told that air-curtains take a great deal of engineering and testing to get right.

It would be nice if someone in the forum slapped some of these VG's in front of their front wheels and gave us some real life feedback.

At least I think it would be nice.

We can talk about it all day, but if we have a willing Guinea pig, I say we encourage them.
