So what? Well, maybe I could glue clear plastic at that point, extending a few cm to the rear. This would create a lip or minikammback with a sharp trailing edge. I'd do the same to the rounded corners of the rear bumper. Probably not worth any mpg's, but who knows? |
Perusing this thread I noticed this. I have noted the dirt patterns on the Probe because during the summer I live at home on a dirt road and the separation point is quite apparent. Does anyone have some idea on whether this would make a difference? A sheet of plastic is like $15 at the school store.
Maybe someone has an idea on some sort of free scrap plastic to use on it, too.
