But Brian, if you had them you would be "bitchen"

I like them on Javier's car...at the very least it's the excuse I give myself when he pulls away from me while my foot is burried in the floor! It has nothing to do with the extra 100 hp

Um....it's spelled "bitchin' " and yes my cab would be even more so if I added these.

Mark, just have your local painter mask off your car except the leading edges of the rain gutters -- let him loose with a few hundred coats of paint to fill in the channel -- you are still legal

Very interesting ... does anyone else produce this part at a reasonable price?

Function? Slightly reduced wind noise (better to hear the exhaust), paint protection, slight aero advantage? Only disadvantage is $200 less in my pocket. This is not first on my priority list certainly, but seems like a decent mod I have never seen anyone have, yet people spend a lot on rain gutter deletes.

Thoughts?

Sounds about right, Pong. The original Yellowbird needed both these mods to crack the double ton.

Ha! I guess that would be one way around the rules. "I didn't modify the body; it's just paint!"

Now that is a very good question.

Thanks, I like them. Honestly, most people don't even notice them. Naked CF looks hot on a black car!
