Don't spend (waste?) your $1,500 on some guy who may or may not know a fraction of what some folks here know, and could do better for far less money.

Read Hucho at your tech library, do Coroplast belly pan in prioritized sections, grill block, tire pressure, $3 Walmart pizza pan wheel covers, etc.. Forget the green paint--waste of money and makes the car hotter since green absorbs more sunlight so you need the AC on more. Spend a fraction of repaint money on window tint, preferably DIY. Scan gauge. Foam wheel fairings. $8 Home Depot garden edging air dam. Adjust nut behind wheel.

You get the idea. Get a lot more bang for a lot less buck.

You could probably do all this stuff for ~$2-300, cheaper if a good scrounger. 30% fuel economy improvement is well within range.
