LOL, good catch. I think the airtabs were installed for purely aesthetic reasons, as **if they were supposed to be masking the indent for the license plate from air making that 90 degree bend from the side of the car and around the bumper, then they would be installed backwards

Re: Missing The Concept

$29,839.82* may help in that determination.

*This example cost estimate is for a customer interested in conducting a wind tunnel test of a model aircraft in our 8' x 12' Low Speed Wind Tunnel. Effective January 1, 2011

The University of Washington Aeronautical Laboratory (UWAL) is a subsonic wind tunnel testing organization. As a self-supporting university auxiliary enterprise,, UWAL charges its customers in order to pay its employees and to fund maintenance and upgrades to its facilities. This guide describes the most common services UWAL provides for its customers at UWAL’s main facility, the Kirsten Wind Tunnel.
