    that's like using google maps to tell you how long it takes to get somewhere.
    20 minutes PLUS...
    measuring to see how many panels
    pulling the truck in
    cleaning it for real because your truck isn't brand new now is it?
    getting the ladder out, putting the ladder away
    blah blah blah.
    that 20 minutes took an hour probably.

    But that being said, those panels make more sense than the way the airtabs are installed by far. The airtabs instructions seem to suggest a larger spacing between the little spoilers is better which is part of what makes them take forever as you have to really plan them out.

    You are right.. If we include the cleaning, getting the ladder out etc, it will come to a little more. I will try it soon

    Who wants a wide vertical strip of white on the trailing edge of a black, red, blue or purple sleeper extensions?

    I was mainly thinking of them for the trailer... But I will of course paint them if they are to be added on the tractor (or simply get them in black). That's also what V-spoilers suggest..

    Dimples are the real answer. Did you ever ask why they put them on golf balls?

    Unreal. Now drop all the added weight of the clay and use a light weight smooth product to dimple the car. Then what would the fuel mileage be w/o all the additional. Dimples with weight showed a significant improvement. Dimples w/o weigh should be an even bigger improvement.
