The biggest contributors to aerodynamic drag are frontal area and trailing turbulence. I seriously doubt that the parasitic drag from laminar flow disturbance would be of any consequence with an FD, unless you filled the hood, quarter panels and doors with ducts, and were averaging speeds over 150 mph consistently during your driving.

Thumbs up
Damian,

You the man with the plan. Appreciate them templates dude. Your previous templates for intake shielding made me look like a hero back here in tiny ol Malaysia. Just wanted you to know dude how far you have reached internationally. Respect
