That is some slick, slick work. The closeoff panels on the nose look completely stock in the pictures.

62+ mpg, man that's awesome. Forget the naysayers, you're on a roll.

Think of this - needing less power to cover ground due to your aero improvements, your engine burns less fuel and therefore generates less waste heat, thus pushing its heat load into the radiator down closer to where the airflow through your little vents is sufficient. It was already sufficient, but now you've got some headroom.

Rock on, this thing is fabulous. And reversible!
