Some of the looks presented in this post are really nice but being an engineer who has done work in wind tunnels I'm wondering who is going to put the kit in a wind tunnel, measure the static pressures and really prove the kit has effective aero and does not induce too much drag? Anyone out there do CFD work at home? 3D CFD would be less expensive than renting a wind tunnel...........

I like the looks and all but without some data to back it up I think the total effectiveness is a big unknown.
