My Fit with Airtabs
I have actually seen semis with them in the last week when I drove to Vegas and back. I doubt they would put them on semis if they didn't work, but they do look pretty funny on the car. If you could make them as symmetrical as possible and paint them body color it would hide nicely. The roof ones don't look bad, but the side ones look a lil strange. They should make them in big flat strips so you can just run them vertical lines, and have them bodycolored. But rather than stick a bunch of tabs to my car, i would rather just run 35psi in tires and get the same results.
I already said it early. Nothing or very little. But I like them and they are cheap compare to all the other modifications that I have seen around here and that also do nothing to fuel economy.
If vortex generators on the fit would have the same effect as that maybe it'll cause dirt and dust to fly past the butt ledge on the Fit instead of just collecting on it...hmmm
I'm pretty sure you've got them facing the wrong direction. The shape of the ones on the stock Evo MR lead me to believe that they're backwards..

From what I understand they're supposed to break up the smooth airflow over the roof to make the wing more effective at producing downforce (or simply reducing lift), which they won't do very effectively if the pointy bit is facing backwards. Sure, they'll create turbulence but not the kind you're looking for.
Also, I don't understand why you put them on the sides. They can't possibly give you enough benefit to justify the way they look. Just my two cents. I think with them just on the top it would look badass, though. Actually got me considering doing this to my car.
But, as always, its YOUR car.
