89 mr2

I recently aquired an 89 Toyota MR2 with the NA 4age engine and a 5 speed manual transmission. It has 200k miles but runs fairly well for its age.

I have read a lot in the aerodynamic threads and I would like to fill the gaps on the front and flatten out the front bumper some. I also want to eventually put an underbody tray under the car and do some basic aeromods. (wheel covers, etc)

I read some threads regarding the use of heat shrinking plastic, and I just happen to have a lot of it on hand. I was thinking of using some to try and come up with a more aerodynamic back end, kinda like the Del Sol thread that is floating around. The biggest problem that I can think of is that the MR2 being mid-engined needs to have air access and covering the vents seems like a bad idea.

I am also in the process of modding the stock spoiler with the well known plummley spoiler mod, but now that I have been reading up on aerodynamic effects of spoilers I may just leave it off. Anyone have any thoughts as to whether or not I should remove it?
