That is a good looking DIY mod. And a 6% FE gain is cool. I'm hoping for 0.5-1% FE gains with this trunk lid. Looking at your Kamm makes me feel like giving the lid up. But I want to finish what I started. I want to know methodically if it can work and how well or poorly. Are you still running your Kamm? What are the windows made of? On the curve-cut in coroplast, I hear you. I bought tin snips, curved, for the coroplast cuts. But I'm still not confident I'll get a great line. I'm patient. I'll work up a model of that section in card board first. Ultimately, I know I want to build whatever is final in durable materials (lightweight fiberglass).
