Semi-moon disc.. :)
I found some "Outdoor" duct tape at Lowes. Looking at the wrapper, it seemed
to be silver, like regular old duct tape.. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...r/CRV/M083.jpg check out the shorty mudflaps.. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...r/CRV/M089.jpg As you can see, it's really dark gray. Nowhere near the shiny silver I wanted.. Anyways, this tape job saves gas instantly! Without even starting the ICE! My CRV is so ugly, the girls won't ride in it anymore! More gas savings!! As for actual driving, this mod is going to be a real challenge to test.. If it works, I'll think about adding some little skirts on the back wheel wells. There is an awfully big opening just above the tires! :o Maybe I should also cover over those holes in the 6 roof rack brackets.?. Cheers, Rich |
I don't think it looks too bad. At least I've seen worse haha. Good for testing. Let us know how it works out.

maybe extend the tape to the center of the hub for a smoother surface.
I wonder what kind of vortex that hole creates? |

Next step? Lose the roof rack. ;) |

No way Jose! The rack gets a lot of use.. But, I am thinking about taping up all those holes in the (6) brackets. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1.../rackmount.jpg They are pretty flat on the back and not so bad on the outside either. I think they could be taped down pretty easily.. Heck, I bet no one would even notice.. |

I like them because I like asymmetry in design. They remind me of the old reel-to-reel computer tapes that you'd see in the NASA control rooms. CarloSW2 |

You USE the roof rack??? :eek:
Wow, an SUV owner who uses his roof rack ... who woulda thunk it? :confused: |

I'll tape the holes up and lower my AM/FM antenna half way down, but that's it for the roof area.. If I can't hit my goal of 35 highway, then I'm going to start thinking about the underbelly. Maybe some cute little tire dams. :) |
