picture of aero mods gone bad

all of us that do our own ecomod building and engineering can relate to the time spent doing it, with the goal of a more efficient vehicle. I give credit to this guy for implementing so many aero mods, but his execution is another thing.

http://www.youdrivewhat.com/page/195/

The picture of the car continually moves to the next page because of new pictures being updated all the time. The title to the picture is "Fix Of The Day". It is a red Ford Tempo. Enjoy!

I would say all mods effective. Propably not permanent due to duct tape. Idea has propably been to test the effect of various mods and then manufacture more permanent solutions is those mods give wanted outcome.

The yellow Gold Wing thingy has potential.

Hook him up with Bondo for a better execution of the idea.
