there's some of them that are ajustable.

plus, you can always shorten how high the stick up.

I'm not saying this IS the way to go.

actually, I'd say just leave it bare. Aside from spending more money than its worth for R&D to save .1 or so CD, there's really not much you can do.

there's companys that have put out wings for various cars (particularly in my head, there was one for the New Beetle) that they claim to lower the CD about that amount. .1-.2, nothing major.

about as effective as those plastic slips that go on your front bumper.... what are those things called.... :thinking: canards?
