After hours and hours in the wind tunnel testing aerodynamics, drag coefficients, ect, we came to the conclusion that tape across the front of the hood and down each side of the grill, cut the drag coefficient down 29.73% and made the truck 33.48% more aerodynamic.............

WAIT.......Maybe its just to keep the front of my VFN hood down until we get a couple more dzus fasteners on the front edge of the hood

But, it was funny how many people in staging asked me if that was for aerodynamic resasons.......
