Nice Nice Nice. I am confident as I am sure you are that it will keep
things clean under there. But what I want to know, and you will eventually
find out, is what does it do to your top speed and gas mileage? Seems to me
on a vanagon there is as much to gain cleaning up the airflow below as
there is above.

President, Felder Enterprises. Quality for the gentry, priced for the
