Well, yes, in a way. When opened, they'll slow down the side their

backwards, I don't doubt it looks better, but it dosn't follow the
version from the movie very well anymore. :) More or less custom at
that point. ;) Also, the reason for the less-aerodynamic look at the
front is that space between the cone-ish thing and the SW engine is
part of the intake for the engine (I belive, they all seemed to have
intakes for air to burn fuel).
