giant turbulator tape?

Actually, it's just a strip of coroplas with a saw tooth cut..


And I'm testing some spay-on glue to see if it will hold coroplas on the skid plate.



Since this is not adding frontal area, I hope it's not going to add any drag.

If it generates a wide band of vortexes under the engine openings, it might cause some effect. Maybe I'll see a coolant temperature change.?.
Maybe the noise level will drop?

When VTs were added under the nose of a Honda Insight, it made the car more stable at highway speeds.

Got a little road trip this afternoon..
