Moved trunk spoiler last night.
Did it in the rain because I wanted a good solid mpg test run as my baseline for the car.
So filled tank b4 I got home 1/4 mile up the street last night.
It cost me some due to location is in middle of my best coast down zone of 1 3/4 mile.
But thats ok as it is only a baseline and first recorded that will go into garage.
I will wait till tuesday to post results because I am installing side skirts saturday also for the second recorded test.
It is really hard to tell the difference when dealing with rear spoiler mpg change so wanted my best first location trial now.
It looks really well placed sorta like the ones on a 98 sunbird where its right behind the rear window.
After I get few solid baseline runs recorded I will move it back n forward and raise it up also till I find best results.
ok later.

ps. FYI I think I may alter my decision about dam v/s front spoiler.
I believe best approach is going to be spoiler and dam, hope this ends the debate as it will also be tested.
