This I thought was ecomodder, not increasedownforcemodder. One must keep in mind that the basic principle of low drag is to NOT disturb the air you are plunging through. The more you make the air move, the more drag that will be felt. Moving air takes energy, we call that extra energy drag. To that end, having something stick up can only make air move more. If you want to decrease drag, you need to change the basic shape of the thing being pushed through the air.
