You have to be going pretty fast before aerodynamics kick in. If they hinder performance then I would say not until you are going about 90-100, and even then it is probably minimal, if at all.

ok thanks. it seems as if they would really catch the air in them and hold the car back. i rarely go over 80 on the highway so i wouldnt really notice a difference but i was just wondering if it would because lately ive been hearing a lot of the aerodynamics of the car really making a diverence above like 110 if your racing someone. i think theyre designed well enough and i know they are only cosmetic but i dont think saleen would put them on their cars if they really made even a very small noticeable difference in the speed and performance of the car.

They aren't going to make a measurable difference.
