I repaired the passenger side rear wheel strake (it got whacked by a stick) -- it is better than it was. It was a bit too wide, so I narrowed it a bit and rebuilt it off the car; then taped it on, so it looks better.





I also had to reinstall the rear wheels skirts, after having the winter tires put on. They are holding up fairly well -- Coroplast is tough stuff. Here's the front grill block -- I redid it with aluminum last summer and never got a picture of it. There are two pieces -- the first one fits the main opening and is cable-tied on. The second extends down to the bumper, and is pop riveted to the first; which covers half of the cable ties. The lower corners probably need pop rivets through the plastic grill; but for now I have them taped down (the air flow lifts them).





I also got the Ecomodder sticker on last summer.

The right front wheel cover is somewhere on Rt 80 in Ohio -- it came off a second time right after I had stopped to retrieve it. The right rear has come off at least 3 or 4 times, and is a lot worse for wear... Though I think flatter covers on the rear are slightly better?

I gotta rebuild the left wheel strake...
