They look like they would greatly improve the drag coefficient. Has anyone tested these in the 1/4 or mile?

They could help, a little. Car would probably benefit more from being lower to the ground. If they gave more the .10 everyone would be running them but then again I am sure not many people have actually tested them. Someone with a consistent time car would have to try it out. I always wondered this myself, maybe your on to something, now we know the LS1 fbody secret!

Actually, Dave DiLuca had those on his 9.20's NX car. So all jokes aside, I am sure a non-flimsy **** box ebay peice is something that might help a car making real power more aerodynamic.

I'm actually more interested in the mile. I'm hoping to run it sometime early next year when I get around to putting in new valve springs.

I think they are more for looks than helping with aerodynamics

I had a set of the GTS headlight covers on my Camaro (mostly for looks/car shows). My car was very consistant and putting these on made absolutely zero change in ET's. The only real problem I had with them (and the reason for me to take them off) was one of them came flying off @ about 112 mph.

my buddy picked up 1 tenth with them on his 3rd gen. granted he was in the 8's and trapping over 150mph. hope that answers your question instead of amusing the overlords....
