So... this has gone from an eco-modding thread, into a paint and body resto thread. Perhaps posting on an integra forum would make more sense?
You are skilled in body work... don't tell me you wouldn't know how to fix those holes in the hatch.

Just because you didn't go far enough with the eco mods or test your fuel consumption carefully enough doesn't mean they weren't working! Aero mods on my Jetta took highway mpg from 47 to 55, with the car looking like the lil' pic in my sig. Aero mods and good styling aren't mutually exclusive, despite how many threads on this forum show us otherwise, haha.

IMO you really just didn't do enough to get an obvious benefit. While the spoiler-delete alone could show noticeable gains (seriously), combine it with a single mirror delete, the front grill blocks, and undertray / diffuser, and it's incomprehensible to me that hwy mpg would not improve noticeably.

Your single / dating / milk carton quote is hilarious though.
