I'm Phil My car is a 2003 Saturn LW200 I am on the verge of crossing from the basic mods to extreme mods.

Below is my car... these are the aero mods As you can see I have the upper and lower grills 90% blocked.

I also have a front tray and rear diffuser

I have wheel dams in front of the front and rear tires

I have swapped the 16 inch wheels for 15 inch wrapped in LRR rubber
I also have vortex generators along the back of the roof placed 6 inches from the back.

Power train mods are as follows:

I have a 2.25 inch engine back exhaust with a cobalt SS manifold (from my days autocrossing the car) a HAI and that is it

I do have a Scangague that is set to display... instant milage, tank milage, IAT, and Load%.

I am thinking about adding wheelskirts and a kamback as well as reducing the mirror size.

I will definitely be installing gap fillers on the body panels since plastic cars have canyons between panels.

any ideas on what to do next will be gladly considered
