How's
this for foam, any aero shape you want, AND PRETTY? Try covering your car in expanding polyurethane foam, then shaving down to the right shape and painting. (Jim, looks like you and I were onto the same idea)

You could always put tires on that are a little bigger than stock. Get a few CM extra, and taller gear ratios to boot. Not sure if the extra weight of the bigger tire would offset any gain, though. Prolly not
Basjoos, I have a question about the construction you used. It looks like you used a lot of coroplast, then aluminum sheeting, held on with rivets or screws, but what is that glue/filler type stuff you used on the coroplast? I guess it is the same stuff you used in the body gaps?
