My impatience got the best of me. Its not easy finding cheap coroplast locally so I used wood to build the "test" version of the belly pan. Its much easier to nail/screw things into the wood knowing that it won't fly off at 70 mph. I don't want to rip it off yet until I get some feedback from the setup surrounding mpg improvement, durability from weather, and EM community.
I guesstimate the setup adds about 50 lbs ... and I know snow/ice tends to stick to wood since people have to be careful climbing wooden steps outside in the winter time.
