'''Introduction'''<br>
Front wheel skirts have many of the same benefits as rear wheel skirts, but are a lot harder to make because the front wheels have to steer!

Front skirts have appeared on a few high MPG concept cars, and a few EcoModder members have tackled the project, but this mod is not for the faint of heart.
