I've read the 65+ list and found a few mods that would apply and benefit my car

So if say I went through and did the following

1. Passenger Mirror Deletion
2. Antenna Deletion
3. Mudflap deletion
4. Grill/Bumper block
5. Air dam
6. Wheel Skirts
7. Moon Discs

I'm litterally starting from scratch with stock body, and a whip antena, and factory rims with no rimcover. So all improvements would be better than nothing.

Do you think with those alone I could expect atleast 5% increase.

I was also wondering what your opinions were on air turblators on a sedan. Also if anybody knows anything about benefits of Windshield wiper cowls, I didnt see anything about them on the list.
