Thank you! The boattail's going to look awkward either way but with that, the aero front and front wheel skirts I do believe I'd be encroaching on the Aero Civic's Cd.

Wondering how much MPG benefit I'd see from these mods. Basjoos claims the Civic gets 95mpg at 65mph. If I could score 60mpg at any speed I'd be pretty happy.

Providing the fuel pump works, here is a list of things to do, vaguely prioritized:

-rear brake pads
-NGK spark plugs
-full belly pan
-alternator on/off
-boattail
-front wheel skirts
-fixed headlights
-aero nose
-MPGuino (when I get a job)
-skinniest/LRR tires available (when I get a job)
