That is a good point. the insight is for sure much more aerodynamic than my eclipse. Redneck did get 15 in his metro. Also i know the feeling about the Forester. If I could make one for my Durango i would.

Mine actually does not have a spoiler. Mine is the base model, which is ok for me because it also does not have power steering.

I will for sure check that out.
New idea. Because i would have a hard time forming and working with metal piping or similar material, I was thinking about using PVC piping. It is strong, lightweight, and flexable. Only problem is, I can't think of a way to attach it to the car.
