Aero Engineers: What’s the First Flaw You See in This Modular Kit?

I’m developing a DIY aerodynamic upgrade kit called Slipstream, built around a LiDAR scan → CAD model → modular panel workflow. The goal is to reduce drag on existing vehicles without requiring permanent body modification.

The current module set includes:

  • Smooth wheel covers
  • Rear wheel skirts
  • Underbody panels
  • A short, removable boattail
  • Clip‑on mounting system designed to avoid drilling or adhesives

Everything is meant to be reversible and installable with basic tools.

I’m not looking for hype — I’m looking for the first aerodynamic flaw that stands out to you. Whether it’s panel transitions, taper angle, stagnation zones, separation risk, or something I’m overlooking entirely, I want the honest critique.

If you were evaluating this as a real aero package, what’s the first thing you’d fix or question?

I’m building this in the open, so detailed feedback is extremely helpful.
