Pulled the guide wire out today and secured the rear strakes and rear mud flaps together fer support. I'm gonna try to reuse the guide wire on the outside of the bottom of the rear wheel skirts and see if I can make it work with some zip ties and a smart bend or two. If it doesn't work then I'll have to buy some flat aluminum 1/8" strips (about $6 each) to bend and secure on the bottom of the rear wheel skirts. I did look at the steel flat strips at about $5 each but I figured it would take longer to drill through those...so I'm not gonna consider using them.
I went ahead and painted the rest of the exposed parts flat black so they don't attract too much attention...
