I doubt you'd be able to notice anything at all, especially since their comparison is to aircraft, which move.... about 4x what the Civic tops out at.

They will only work if you use them in conjunction with a turbo exhaust simulator.

lol to that

i actually put them on my car a few months ago because i love the way they look on the evos, and they make body fit ones for STI's as well, jsut like the evo peace. I used the universal ones, and i actually only did it because i liked the look, but one thing, the way they say place them is wrong, the point of vortex generators is to direct airflow down the roofline of a coupe/sedan to trap the aire under an airfoil(spoiler) that must be hihg enough to actually trap the air (which is why the EVO and STI wings are so high, the little spoilers on our cars do much of nothing, the closest we have to anything is the RSX/R wing, ITR wing, and civic si wing...you should not place them facing outword, you should face them perpendiculor to the molding of the windshield. Most people are not in favor of them, you could call them rice, i actually enjoy the way they look on my car.
