96SATSL - I assume your spats and garage door seal is just attached with small, self tapping screws? I guess you went in to the metal underbody and not in to the plastic trim?
Also spats are just in front of the wheels, there's nothing behind them to help with bringing the flow back together?

You underbody mates in well with the plastic trim/bumper pieces, is that all just epoxied to make it look that smooth? I like how you avoided the exhaust, I had always wondered how best to do that. Did you just leave a hole for oil and filter changes? I need to find some coroplast...

Great numbers, great thread, thanks.
itstagame,

The spats are attached to the wheelwell liners, and the front dam and side skirts extensions are make with using the seal which I attached to clear L channel extrusion typically used for corners of walls indoors. That provided enough rigidity and 2 surfaces, one to fasten the seal and the other to attach to the car. Not sure about your question on the spats?

"...plastic trim/bumper pieces, is that all just epoxied to make it look that smooth?"

Everything is attached with screws for easy removal. Not sure which part you are asking about. By being removable, i can access filter easily.
