Have you done any windtunnel testing?

While you may prefer the look, you could be doing some serious damage to the aerodynamics and therefore the handling and safety of the car

Little stretch between parksville and qualicum beach there is a nice long straight stretch. Now that the speed limit is 120 most cops don't bother setting up radar there, so when there is no traffic it's nice to open her up.
