Since we know the stock Probe is supposed to be 0.304 Cd it should give me a rough estimate what things are doing.

I can't do any mods today because I have to work, but I looked at the headlights. The mechanism doesn't appear conducive to manual operation, BUT there is a large open space in the bumper where they hide. This leads me to believe I could easily have someone fab up a few brackets to hold the headlights (fixed in the upright position) at least three inches lower in the body and make transparent fairings afterward. Going to look into this.

Also put some electrical tape over some bumper-body gaps and around the taillights.

Thinking of getting a vinyl made "WHAT WOULD JARAY DO?" Would anyone be interested in one?
