i could use more chicks. lol.
this car is actually a project car for my daughter to learn how to drive. she gets her permit this summer. i need to keep it as stock as possible.

i'll remove the VAC gauge until she get's her license. i don't want it to distract her. i won't teach hypermiling until she appears to be safe by 2nd nature.

and physical mods may embarrass her. i'll leave it up to her, introduce her to this site and let her think it's her idea for aero mods.

the non-permanent mods i plan to do to this car at not aero mods.
Respectfully:
Synthetic axle/wheel bearing lube
Hot/Warm air intake - just not done due to laziness.
Grill Block (Upper Grill) - just not done due to laziness.
Grill Block (Lower Grill)
Cover bucket-style marker lights - just not done due to laziness.
Weight reduction

Seal Panel Gaps
Belly pan (full)
Front Air Dam (TBD)

i already have relatively smooth hub caps from honda.
