Chris: check AndrewJ's Civic CX aero mods thread - he used some thin plastic to form his wheel skirts.

I'd like to see someone do some foam sculpting to make a set of glass skirts though. Mostly because that's what I'm thinking of doing for my partial Kamm back this summer, and I'd like to learn from someone else's mistakes rather than my own .

I second Frank's comment: lose the bug deflector. If it's there to protect the paint, I'd put on some of that plastic film instead.

EDIT: whoops, I see you've already taken it off.
