It would take quite a bit of material to make an air dam for the truck in your avatar. LOL.

On edit: Can't make the image linked above to display. Sigh.

“What about the mirrors, have you done any testing with smaller mirrors?”

“How bout taking the mirrors off and putting in some little cameras?”

Dave sez:
These are on my radar screen. I saw an SAE paper where two GM engineers determined that 17% of the aero drag on a W-body car (GrandPrix, Monte Carlo,etc) came from the side view mirrors. And those are relatively small, well-faired mirrors. One can only imagine how much drag is generated by the elephant ears on a Super Duty. Problem is that with my fairing I am blind as a bat to the rear without my side view mirrors. To replace them I’ll have to have a system with at least four cameras.

When the time comes I’ll chase down some CCTV specialist. I have seen these used on some big RVs and custom coaches.

“…deleting the door handles and putting in some electronic pop locks?”

Dave sez:
I don’t trust those things. What I want are the faired latch handles used on airliners.
