HAI Experiment

Philip1, I noticed your grille block looks like it's underneath the grille, rather than on top of it. Do you ever wonder if it would cause even less drag if it were smooth? Be a lot more work I imagine. Maybe not worth it?

I've tried both ways and I found the slightly less obvious behind the grille looked better and made no milage difference. It was more about just having it rather than whether it was in front or behind the grille

Like philip1, I have a grille block behind the upper grille on my VW. Mine is that way to avoid making the car look too awful; when you drive as many miles as I do (or used to), it becomes very important to reduce the chance-per-mile of cops noticing you, no matter how hard you try to obey the rules.

Then there's also the issue of looking professional when I arrive at work...
