Need Aero Recommendations

Hi Folks,
I would like to submit a couple pics of my car and get suggestions on what I can do to lower CD as much as possible. I'm not scared to cut, fiberglass, bondo. all suggestions mild to wild are welcome. Ignore the front air dam, I put it on to test fit and will be replacing it as soon as I can get to the hardware store.

I have access to a 3d Laser Scanner at work so I hope to get my car scanned and modeled next week and then import it into Solidworks or Ansys to do some CFD simulations on it with various modifications. Just looking for ideas to test and try in the simulation so I don't waste time fabricating something that doesn't work to achieve my goals of .19 or lower CD
