My folks have one of these:



They love it, partly because they're getting up in years, have some artificial joints, and appreciate the quiet and comfort. They put a lot of highway miles on it, so I was thinking of fashioning an undertray and maybe a partial/adjustable grill block. It gets upper 20s as it is, and my folks' driving style is pretty efficient.

My dad had neck surgery, so now he can't crawl around under vehicles any more. It also means he can't turn his head to check for traffic, so mirror delete is out.

Soooo, short story long, anyone have a BTDT? Any quirks? Low-hanging fruit? Is the Northstar particularly sensitive to cooling issues or anything like that?

The primary concerns will be keeping it reasonably stock-looking, and not doing anything that will require ongoing attention.
