The first coastdown test hasn't shown any measureable effects. Then again, it's starting at 45 MPH, so reducing drag by a couple points isn't going to show up much. Starting at 45, I'm still hitting 40 as I come to the Speed Limit 35 sign. Then again, it was slightly cooler, since it was about 6:30 PM, and today was colder than it has been recently.

Though I am starting to think about a way to add a kammback and still keep use of the trunk, since I do use it often. Maybe when I get some money to look at materials that aren't laying around, I'll start working on a design.
