I followed your idea and weather stripped all the gaps on my car. Now that the hood gaps are closed, the engine warms up faster; I suppose because no (or much less) cool air is getting in from above.

I really like the belly pan you made. How did you attach it to the underside of the car?

A while back you were talking about installing a rear spoiler. Any progress on that?

I've been averaging 44-48mpg in the cold winter months in NY. Damn the cold!
