Message You mentioned in the other post about not being sure what aero measurements the make of that body kit may have done (paraphrasing). I'd be surprised to know if they took ANY at all. I hate to generalize but I'd say that the majority of body kit makers do not invest the time to rent a wind tunnel and perform these kinds of studies. Sadly, they're going for wowing the pre-pubecent crowd.
Anyway, that's all I've got on the subject matter. Carry on.
