Can't decide if I'm more impressed with the photography or the 'Windows
Paint' graphics... If you really want to know if they'll do anything for
you, grab the tin snips and go to.
I keep having this image of somebody sliding across those things and getting
shredded, or forgetting they're there and putting a hand up... ouch.

Let us know, eh?

Cya,
Robert

Check this product out if you have a moment...
It is supposed to reduce turbulence and therefore drag at the rear of
vehicles and improve the laminar flow thus reducing fuel consumption.
Maybe it could have some slight benefit over long distances on
highways...can't see how it could help in stop start traffic where fuel
consumption is greatest anyhow.
I don't think I want to stick or rivet them to my nice paintwork...

My cynic alarm is going off and the words "snake oil" keep popping into
my head.

Anyway you be the judge....
