Tony,

Thanks. Now I have a much better picture. I'd like to see you add what you wrote to me here, add it to your sc1 aero mods thread. Might be helpful to other readers.

I think that like my Civic, your Saturn is more than 48" wide in places. I saw a piece added on at the right rear corner, looked like the 48" coroplast width wasn't quite enough. But if just a couple corners needed it, that's good. I'll measure mine across the side skirts today, if up to 48" that would be nice.

I paint the exhaust with aluminium paint and then wrap it with foil and there is a strip of aluminium flashing between coroplast and exhaust. Coroplast is screwed into the floor and frame of the car. A frame in spots would be good as it tends to sag over the years near the exhaust and rear suspension. It does smell like melting coroplast for the first hundred miles, as it melts where it is in contact with the cat.
