You've obviously got a much better handle on fluid dynamics than that rube. I applaud your efforts to overthrow the system with eBay fins and psychological projection.

He says roof spoilers are worse than no roof spoilers. Watch @ 8:16.

He says you're increasing drag for nothing.

Let's be clear here: the "uneducated d-bag" isn't saying that, mofugging science is.

Didn't read my post huh?

I didn't say the guy is wrong, he isn't. But on the STREET these things make no difference except for a little less fuel economy which I'm prepared to accept. We're not all driving race cars here.

Not sure if they ship internationally. Or if this is even cheap haha, but I thought $125 AU was pretty good.

You mean the one where you called the (obviously formally educated) engineer an uneducated douche bag for stating facts that make you aware that your $125 ebay purchase is, by nearly any definition, rice? Naw, guess I missed it.
