It also has some L-brackets with automotive-grade adhesive holding it down.

Hopefully I'll have some more time now, and I'll be able to get to work on some new mods!

I've been poking around the underside wondering how I'm going to get the belly pan and diffuser on, and I'm starting to think about aluminum sheet for the diffuser so I can ignore the heat from the exhaust, since the muffler is JUST off-center.

I'll also be looking at how to install some tire spats and rear wheel skirts. For the skirts, I'll be installing L-brackets in the wheelwell and attach the coroplast to them for a cleaner result than on my Tempo.

Furthermore, I'm going to be adding some trip strips to the rear end to give a nice edge for airflow to detach. There's some compound curves to deal with, but it shouldn't be hard at all. I'll just have to pay more attention. I also need to figure out how to soften the step on the sides of the kammback.

Now if I just slow down a bit, I could be adding at least 2 MPG without adding a thing...
