    As cool as it sounds, the vehicle would end up looking too weird though, but could be funny to try;-)

    The first few would look weird. Tens of thousands would seem normal. If the powers to be were serious about fuel mileage they would make dimpled cars a law. Who knows. Dimples might confuse radar. Then everybody would want a golf ball car.

    i read once mig fighter jets use strategically placed patches of dimples to change their handling characteristics. I'd drive a dimpled car. Heck, I already drive a Golf, it only makes sense.
     
    Grubby and bigguns Thank this.

    I think they had the clay IN the car on the non dimpled test. So weight same either test.

    I agree with you now that you say it. I didn't distinguish color and texture difference of the car between the two tests.

    So we now did an install on my friends truck AND trailer ("V-Spoilers brand", and with reflective surface). That tape is strong as hell. It looks great - I think it was 70 single units on the horse and 18 panels on the trailer. Ploger Trans.jpeg Ploger at night.png Ploger at night.png [
