that's about 14'... I think it's gonna be a little too long - overall width is about 6'... you probably only need about six additional feet to wrap down...

If I were getting one I'd go about 3657mm

You would be better off installing it at the top of your windshield, the down force of it bein' on the hood would surely add some dive when in a heavy stop.

I'm replacing my door trim with them, this way it will cut the air and provide 31.3% less drag, shaving off .232 seconds in the 1/4 mile.... According to my calculations.

Ok, Joking aside, you guys gave me a crazy idea... these actually wouldn't be half bad as a "Home Depot" splitter. More rigid and much less likely to sag.

^ or you could use them as window rain guards, or you could extend your side skirts and make them more aggressive

and a head-band is better than a rubber-band to hold a cell phone to your ear... but neither are worthy to take the place of blue-tooth earpiece.
