Comments about Yakima Fairing - Standard Sizes:
The fairing did an excellent job of reducing wind noise, but I found that after I installed it on my civic my gas mileage went down about 5 MPG, which on a long trip can make quite a difference. I've always heard fairings improve gas mileage so I didn't think it was the fairing at first, but after a friend mentioned it to me I removed the fairing while filling up on a long trip, and my next tank of gas was back to normal mileage. I'm putting up with the noise, which isn't that bad, to save 50 miles (aka $8 this summer) per tank.

Comments about Yakima Fairing - Standard Sizes:
I tried going without a fairing for exactly 10 minutes. [...] Wind noise is drastically reduced, but don't expect perfect silence. I mean, seriously, there's still a rack up there, and there will still be wind drag. Unfortunately, the rack no longer drowns out the noise of my nagging girlfriend.I can't say for sure whether or not it makes a significant difference in fuel efficiency, but it sure makes a difference in "my car looks way cooler" efficiency.

Comments about Yakima Fairing - Standard Sizes:
I honestly thought I could get away with not adding a fairing on my SUV after installing my rack system, but after hearing the noise through my open sun roof I broke down and purchased one. It made a BIG difference. Like another reviewer mentioned, the noise doesn't go away 100%, but it's a vast improvement. Believe me, it's worth it and it looks great.

Comments about Yakima Fairing - Standard Sizes:
At first I was hesitant to shell out the [$] for this fairing, but after reading other reviews I decided it was worthwhile. My rack was terribly noisy with the roof open, not anymore. This thing really improves the noise level drastically and looks pretty sweet too.By the way the 38" fits Jetta IV.

Comments about Yakima Fairing - Standard Sizes:
I thought [$] for a relatively simple piece of plastic and hardware was a bit much, but the peace and quiet delivered truly is priceless. Where previously passengers and I couldn't even hear each other talk, a conversation with all windows and the moon roof open is not only possible but pleasureable (as is listening to music).

Comments about Yakima Fairing - Standard Sizes:
On a trip to Florida I barely heard a thing and didn't see any reduction in gas mileage. Be sure to use the Yakima sizing utility to confirm the right size, though. Simple, effective design.
My only quibble: The adhesive car protector tabs that go under the fairing's foam feet are hard to place _just right_. Could have been my technique, though.

Simply put...it does the job. Significantely reduces wind noise and drag, and also has plenty of space to put stickers of all the places you travel too. Wouldn't have a rack without one...must have!

Comments about Yakima Fairing - Standard Sizes:
I balked at paying over [$] for a piece of plastic, but after mistaking wind noise from my bike rack for a 747 overhead, I gave in and bought the fairing. Significantly reduces wind noise and allows me to enjoy my moon roof again!

Comments about Yakima Fairing - Standard Sizes:
I didn't think I needed one when I first bought my Yakima roof rack, but the fairing significantly reduces the wind noise and reduces the drag caused by the roof rack.
