thanks guys. I have used old not needed shower panel wall(my father is remodeling bathroom and throw it away, so I lucky to have it). This stuff is very flexible and easy to cut with dremel tool. Heating gun helped me a lot as well.

I was thinking about it, but I need more opinions about it. I've extended front wheel deflectors to cover front control arm, though.

that's pretty sweet!

is the second picture looking front to back? from this angle it seems as if the suspention is exposed to the airflow a bit, but that could just be the picture.

how did you attach everything to the bottom of the car?

I covered rear suspension arms to deflect air going smooth around it instead of hitting straight. Should I do the same thing with rear tires as well ?
I attach to the frame with metal self-tapping screws.

I used the same stuff for the bottom of my civic. it works great. Cheaper than some of the other materials and available at HD! Although the 4'x8' sheets were tricky to get back home. I had them strapped down to the roof of my car hanging over the back windshield. I'm sure it was a sight to see.

Looks good
