Hello,

I'm contemplating revising the current Coroplast skirts to fit like the earlier set I had -- I think the the flush leading edge may be better for FE; despite the tire itself sticking out. There may be air coming out from under the car that is held "in" by the longer skirt?

I have still not beaten my best tankful; which was with the acrylic (shorter) skirts.

Another thing I am trying to figure out, is the effect of the plastic "bulges" on the rocker panels? It looks like they could be taken off -- does anybody have any experience with their affect on the xA?
