Its an interesting application if you have a show car or just want a cleaner look for the under carriage.

looks like a lot of work, especially if you're not doing top speed competitions... maybe you'd get 1 or 2 more MPG on the highway.

im sure you would see a slight but noticable gain in mpg.

but i would also wonder about the heat issue as well.

curious to see if anyone does this.
