    This would reduce air turbulence at the wheel area and thus improve CD I suppose.

    Yes .. they are Airtabs .. I've placed them at the sides and on top near the spoiler.. just can't tell if it improved the CD. Anyway, I love the looks.

    I would like to see some pics that show both the front & rear wheels at the same time. Does adding these to the drum brakes make the rear wheels match the appearance of the front wheels better?

    Then again, I would have to buy some fancy wheels to go with these $10 brake covers first!

    I don't think disc brake falsies would do anything for my steel wheels.
