I doubt I'll do much more than that to the Civic, of course that could change in a heartbeat because I love to tinker and I'm kinda' impulsive.
I also have an 05 Chevy Colorado that could definitely use some help so it'll probably end up on here sooner or later too.

I've always found the Colorado/Canyon to be very attractive. The flared wheel arches look great, it really gives it an off road/aggressive look. Although FE (fuel economy) wise, it may just create more drag. But if you work on it, you can make a huge difference on your mileage with either, adjusting driving habits, OR modding your vehicles. And doing both, well, can get crazy results. It's a bit extreme in my opinion to try this on a real nice, new car, but check out the Aero Civic. That is a beast, whether thinking about FE or performance.
