well my FE is starting to go down havent posted my last 2 fills and bout to do another fill up today.

I ditched the front belly pan idea and plan to use that sheet to hopefully make rear wheel skirts and front arch gap fillers.

my plan this week is to get a cardboard mockup of a kammback. The plan for the kamm is to have 1 piece sit on the rear window to allow the trunk to fully open still this is where it will be attached to the car. Then place a hinge in the middle to allow another piece to flip up off the trunk for access to it as i don't have fold down seats.

I have a sideview of the deflector, and its since been painted black i will put it on with black duct tape probably over winter break if i get a warm enough day to do it.

EDIT: I filled today got just under 27mpg so at least im sticking to my average, checked tires dis morning and the cold caused em to lose 7psi each so that was a probable cause of not getting 27 =)
