And while I appreciate you could care less about your car's mileage, given your performance goals, I was simply speaking from an engineering / physics standpoint. I am not insinuating you instantaneously turn into a Hummer for MPG. I may be wrong as I am a bit rusty on my aerodynamics, but it just seems to me that for typical use AND IN THE LONG RUN, the increased drag coefficient doesn't help the typical driver who may look at this as a 'performance part'. It's track oriented, or done just for looks.

But whatever, if you'd like to laugh at my questioning, then I'm not going to bother.
Phelan,

You know for a fact I am not poking fun at you. Simply put the fender will not be increasing the drag coefficient to cause even a single mpg loss... I was however making fun that my car probably has the mileage of a hummer at this moment.
