Well, it seems like I can coast just a little bit further. I have a road of about ~1 mile between lights, and I used to be able to get to almost 50mph, and then coast to the light and be at about 30ish before I would go through it or have to brake. I did the same thing today, and I was still at almost 40mph at the light, but it could be some other variable like a tail wind or maybe I started closer than usual.

I think it is helping but it could be the placebo effect.

Also, I really don't want to do ABA testing. Not very scientific, I know, but it was rather hard to get the screws in that connect the bottom part to the underside of the car. I did fashion it so the trunk is still able to be opened, though; you can see the wingnuts in the third picture. I just screw them off and it disconnects enough to open the trunk.

I think I'm going to add a little bit more, to have the tail become more of a point.

Edit: I also have a question. I found some 14 hubcaps on craigslist, but they are to a 70s chevy nova . . . do you think they would fit? I have 14 wheels but I'm not sure if all "same" sizes are really the same.
