vortex generators....

[subachad]

I guess I should have turned on the sarcasm tag. Let us know the results, I'm very curious to know.

oh lol, well its hard to tell when some one is being sarcastic without seeing any body language haha, they should be here by friday

well i got them today and i took a pic of the package when i got home from work and installed them but didnt get a chance to take a pic of what it looks like cause i had to go to skool and now im hella tired so ill post pics tomorrow.

ok here they are


for the mostpart any improvement in aerodynamics is hardly noticeable, the few things i notice is a little more stability at freeway speeds and that i dont get sucked into the drag of a big rig as im passing one up, and also at speeds above 80, the car doesnt get blown around by the wind as much as it used to. Bottom line, i guess its not much for 25 bucks, but meh at least it looks different.

i also sent them an e-mail regarding the theory that the vortex generators work better under the bumper rather than on the roof on hatchbacks and this is what i got......


They would help in both places.

Put them 100MM before the air falls off your roof at the rear.

I have bought your vortex generators and have received them today. I wanted to know where would be the best place to place them on a hatchback vehicle. I have a 2006 Chevy Aveo and i have heard that it is better to place them under the front bumper rather than on the roof of a hatchback.

Thank you.

Hmmm... my only suggestion would be to paint them white to match the car. Looks pretty good man.

oh, and I couldn't find the uke emoticon

seriously though, the one on the black plastic trim is fugly. Should have spaced them so the outer two lie on the outside of the plastic trim.

well thats why i said its hardly noticable, it is mostly placebo, i was thinking the same thing about the ones on the edge, but they have to be a certain length apart, but i guess since theres not much effect, im gonna move them to the outside.

i think im gonna leave them black, i dont want to bother with sanding and then painting and crap.
