I finished the tail extension tonight for the most part. I just went the quick and dirty route to get it done, there were some seams that I would have liked to have welded to make it more presentable but this works for now. I can always touch it up later. It is just as structurally sound as the rest of the tail, you can push the whole car around just by pushing the tail. I threw a coat of paint on it to make it presentable, then put the lights and all in it when the paint was still pretty wet since it was getting very dark. Didn't get a chance to put in the sidemarkers yet. I layed out the design of the back plate in cad to get everything to fit, it was very close. Yeah I think it might be a tad crooked, but oh well.

I gotta go downstate tomorrow after work so hopefully I at least see a small gain, or at the very least hopefully my mileage stays the same.
