I figure i would not need to get a rear bumper (because of the tail), but the front and side skirts might not be a bad idea instead of lowering the car?

Link to front bumper: seems to have a front air splitter on it as well

As far as transmission gearing it could use some lower gears, it runs about 3500 RPM at 70MPH, which seems really high to me.
