Extended the belly pan back. I'm stopping halfway through the front floor pans because there's really nothing to zip tie to.

Tried out this wheel skirt option but the coroplast didn't like bending like that. Too bad, because I think it would have prevented flow separation after the wheel well, and cut it off nicely at the end of the car. I don't imagine the radiused bumpers are doing any favors.

So I ended up doing partial wheel covers for now. Later I'm going to do some fairings on the trailing end of the front wheels, and do complete rear fairings integrated into lower skirts.

That was a lot of pics. lol
