The wheel skirts (with the white-ish "transparent" duct tape) are "semi-permanent; in that I'd like to make them from aluminum and have screws with tabs to attach them.

The wheel strake behind the driver's side rear wheel that I have just added (with the black Gorilla Tape) is temporary. It will serve as a template to make better version (for both sides), once I get more Coroplast.

My latest thought involves extending a Kamm panel up from the tip of the wheel strake to complete the ones I've had on the upper sides for a while now. I'd have to have clear acrylic on the part that passes over the taillights, and I would *not* be able to attach them to the upper parts; because they are on the hatch door...
