You didn't seem too fond of the boat tail
Fully plan on doing a fiberglass kammback, a la Blackfly. I liked the boat tail but although it was strong, it wasn't built to last. The MPG was great. It "worked" with the styling to my satisfaction. Maybe when I get a dedicated track car I can dedicate some time and money toward making the ultimate hypermiler. Until then, Ren is supposed to do both.

Rear wheel skirts I'm trying to figure out. Would like to have some if they blend in and are easy to put on and take off repeatedly. No duct tape. It was nearly impossible to get the rear tires off the Probe without damaging the skirts.

I actually took the front lip off, zip tied it to the lip, then put the lip back on the bumper. It's held on about halfway up the lip, so it doesn't really bend.
