Is the trunk cover a new piece of coroplast or is the uglyback reincarnated?

Another piece of coroplast, but as the one used for the uglyback it's a used one which has defaults, this one has a folding. I rapidly added two inner pieces of expanded polystyrene to prevent the cover to become concave.

Was there a noticible difference in coasting/handling right after removing the uglyback?
|
From my butt-o-meter the uglyback was effective, but rear view was so reduced that I considered that it lowered my safety. The fact the coast down test was a failure was only caused by the fact the road I used (another one from the one used to test the rear wheel skirts) was too short, not flat enough and too busy.

Did the wheelskirts stay on all winter?

Yes, and they will stay a long time... I think, or at least my butt-o-meter, that they are currently the most effective mod on my car.
