Another aero tip I picked up from Honda is creating panel overlap. For example the fender and front door you want the the beginning of the door to tuck into the end of the fender. According to them it creates continuity in airflow across the car, but mainly serves to reduce wind noise.

I'm afraid that if local police or Dept. of Public Safety officers pick up on that,it will be a ticket for sure.Can't wait to see OEM sideview cameras on new cars,then the gendarmes won't be looking at that part of the car so much.-------------------------- Nice piece on "shingleing".Guess Honda looked at Hoerner's work.Thanks for sharing that!
