smurf- I think it will end up being lengthened a little bit, but not too much. I'm trying to keep the weight down. I think front wheel skirts can achieve a similar drag number with much less frontal area. I like the fiberglassing idea, but what is on these right now is well and working so I think I'll stick with it. Keep the ideas coming though.
albyneau- The guy who assembled the fastener kits did it because he was using them on his turbo build. a few guys on the forum asked him to put together some kits. He did it and sold it at cost to a few guys on the forum. One of the guys ended up liquidating all the parts that he was saving up for the build and I scored the fasteners for cheap enough to justify the price. I believe the whole kit was 168 pieces and it cost about $1 per piece originally. So I'd say the pricing matches your 2-4 per bolt. The guys have been using the hardware no problem. I thank you for your advice though!
