Ohh and FX2.3, do you have a E-fan? if not, get the one from Jusnes [?] modified. I have that and when i put it on last year it up'd me 2 mpg in town

Yeah, I bought one when they had the first group buy, but sold it to rong5, who sold it to someone else.. the 2.3L has both the mech and an electric fan.. I dont feel like touching the engine though, body panels are one thing, but the engine is not my thing..
Ill try a grille block but the only problem I see is Im in texas and it gets hot as f
ck.. so it wont be a full one, I just want to smooth out the bottom and the spoiler thing..
i got 21.75 on my last tank.. and thats with +80mph on the highway and flooring it alot so Im happy with that
but with gas now $3.35 I need to stop that..
Idea:
Red = metal sheet
Blue = Plastic
It would be hard to cover all of the under belly as the driveshaft and muffler are the moving / hot spots.. and the rear axle needs flex room.. so I could smooth about 60% of the bottom, but that will need to wait till summer!
