Appreciate the interest on this, But after selecting the black airtabs, the shop closed down for the holidays. However they reopened for a short and have started printing more of these for us. I'm really liking the black textured look to these as they appear to resemble carbon fiber. We've informed the shop that we need at least 36 of these and while waiting, I've been searching for the best way to adhere these to the van. I'm not thrilled about the double side tape type stickers to apply these tab to the van.
We're not expecting to see any thing along the fuel savings etc, but do hope that these will reduce cross winds as well as reduce the amount of dust/dirty left on the barn doors. Thus making the van cleaner. I will be surprised if we see at least a 2% increase in fuel economy but I really doubt it.
Ideally, the black tabs will be less of an eye sore and should only be used if you're on major highways between 50mph - 70mph. Also, I've checked with other sites and seem some RVers are installing these on their RV's but either these airtabs are too far apart of too close together.. The official Airtab site suggest 4'' center to center.. which looks to be about 1 1/2 inches apart. So it seem obvious that some of there RVers will not see any sort of fuel savings if the tabs are not installed correctly or in the correct location.
Hang in there till the shop completes these
