Plant Stand Vortex Generators?

Hello -

I keep looking for off-the-shelf parts that could be used as aero goodies. What is you opinion of these :

They are "plant stand" triangles that can be snapped off. You basically get 16 for $4, and then it's up to you to use glue or magnets to keep 'em on.

The one on my hood has magnetic business-card tape and a neomodium magnet inside to keep it attached.

I don't think it's an ideal shape. Could this shape be modeled for viability?
