Hope you don't mind I moved your post into its own thread. That's a wild looking car.

Not difficult to believe the reduction in frontal area from the chop and improved fineness ratio from lowering would have given you a healthy CdA improvement that you could see at the gas pump.

The only thing I would have done different was mimic the CRX angle toward the rear. But maybe you wanted to keep 4 seats. (Don't you just love the comments from the peanut gallery after all the hard work you put in?)

Glad to hear your house is nearly back on track.
