I just did something I said I'd never do
Gave the wagon a haircut...
before https://www.fuelly.com/attachments/fo...0c9721b043.jpg after https://www.fuelly.com/attachments/fo...bc65ae5e9a.jpg that should help a touch I know I said I wouldn't but after reading thr manual several times I went for it... I guess I need to update my signature |
Looks good!
|
Believe it or not, it really changes the character of the car. It looks like a european sport wagon now, before it looked like a dowdy mom-mobile.
|
in europe they have racks too but yes it looks much more lithe
|
I was thinking that too, I just didn't say anything...
|
we will see if there is any improvement in milage (I'm betting there is....) I will be driving out of state in the morning and that will hopefully show a gain.
|
good luck. I hope you see a difference and it was worth taking it off. If it doesn't work, it looks better with them on. Just sayin. Sorry if that didn't help at all.
|
the racks make it look like your roof line is higher and gives it a cooler look. BUT, I hope you do see gains from your trip so you feel better about it.
|
I like the lower look and even if I don't see a gain I will leave it off. I am pretty sure I will see a healthy gain because the rack added a lot of frontal area and caused a lot of turbulence.
|
what did you do about the mounting holes???
I guess I am asking more, what does it look like from above. I assume you have 6 places on your roof of some sort. |
10 holes plugged with plastic plugs and silicone. I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow to see if a delete kit is available.
from above the rack tapered from front to back narrower at the back. See below https://www.fuelly.com/attachments/fo...6316f16b13.jpg I think this is better https://www.fuelly.com/attachments/fo...4da421be25.jpg |
I didn't know if you got a kit or did it yourself. a delete kit may be better as it may be better water proofed/sealed. not that I am picking on your workmanship, I have done my own share of hacking on the car.
I was just curious of how you tackled it. I assume no incidents with the side curtain airbags? |

fresh mods I removed the VG's and the pass mirror. less things sticking into the airflow the better I think..........
