For example, I would probably do something along the lines of:

-Front Air Dam/Shark Nose Dam
-Kammback/Boat Tail
-Front and Rear Wheel Skirts & Smooth Caps
-Wiper Deflector
+Keep both side mirrors

-Fuel Efficient Tires w/ a conservative 40psi (for decreased tire wear)
-Ride Height Reduction

(know very little about these, but I'm curious about these more advanced mods)
-Advance Ignition Timing
-Warm Air Intake
-Taller Manual Gear
-Camshaft Swap

-I've also heard gapping spark plugs a little wider may help a little, but probably too inconsequential to even bother.

What am I missing? Heh, these lists remind me of all those modified cars people sell on Craigslist with their list of performance mods. But instead, we've got eco-mods. But they do cross over and we have things in common. But I'm sure they do hate us for driving a tad slow. Go around! You have your own lane! Is there a magnet on my bumper? I'm sorry! Fine I'll speed up!
