You can test aero mods in a fish tank, by the way. You need a small bilge pump and a syringe with colored oil in it, and a scale model of your car. Small changes will not show up, but large shape alterations will be obvious. You turn the bilge pump on in front of the model, and inject the oil into the water stream where you feel you'd like to check. THe oil will separate soon after for recollection and recycling.
My son and Daughter are both in College, so I'm going to ask them to see if they can get it at their Library after winter break.

Thanks for the tip!!!
