    Hood Seals adhere on to the fender jambs to seal up the hood/ fender gap. Gives an airtight seal for aerodynamics, plus keeps water & dirt out of under the hood.

      Cool, thats what I thought. Wasnt thinking about the fact that it keeps crap out from getting in the engine bay, added bonus! What about the bumper seals? Will they work on a plastic bumper car? Same aero benefit I would imagine, yes? I have been thinking about getting these, I just might justify the cost on my non-///M car

        I good wax job would most likely have more aerodynamic improvements.

        (I remember reading that old biplane guys use to pick up 5-10 knots top speed with a good wax job - no joke)

          also if you are waxing your car, and you get it on the rubber, they're not going to look very nice.

                I don't see the seals doing much to keep stuff out. The grilles have openings, oh yeah, and there's that big ass hole where the engine goes.

                    To mention the fact that there is already a huge gasket for the entire hood keeping everything out.
