First is about the kammback.

I have not really seen anyone on here who owns the 8th gen civic, maybe one or two. I dont think I read anywhere that they had put a kamm on theirs.
So my question is, is it worth putting a kammback on this current gen civic? I have 5 years of welding and fabricating professionally and have the materials to build a nice kammback out of .05" 6061 aluminum sheet and some 6061 flat bar as brackets.

I'm looking forward to working on my car and posting the results asap!
Setarip,I would suggest you search Aerodynamic Streamlining Template Part-C,find our template there and compare a good side photo of the CIVIC to that.
Then go to the 'Drag Reduction Potential' thread and get a sense of where the CIVIC is now,and where you'd like to go with it.The clock has run out here,store is closing,I'll catch up asap.
