Ok I have been doing some reading and brainstorming and have more questions. I'll try to start with the easy ones and work up to the more difficult.

1: Should wheel spats be angled toward the in/out side of the car or just flat like a mud flap in front of the tire?

2: What is better, pizza pans that stick out a little or coroplast that is as flat as possible and jammed into the lip of the steel wheel?

3: How bad is it to have an air dam that angles under the car? I want to do a front air dam in lieu of a front belly pan. If I can't find a SL1 bumper cheap enough and extent the current bumper, I'd probably have a dam that is farther back at the bottom than top if I use the bottom part for support.

4: Are smooth wheel covers still needed when they are behind rear wheel skirts?

5: Who can estimate how long a kamm back should be on my car? I'm thinking about starting with 1 that still enables me to open my trunk most of the way. So I'm thinking of a kamm that ends at the vertical of the bottom of the rear window.

6: If I tuft test the back window and see attached flow coming in from the sides, should I make the Kamm more narrow so as to only address the vortex at the back window or just make it smooth with the side of the car?

7: Can side skirts be slightly recessed under the car or is it best to keep them as an extension of the door skin? I was looking at the car and think I found a way to attach 1/2 gutter (or something "L" shaped) but it will sit at about the inside edge of the tires.


Judging by Chaz's use of the "more extreme" template, I took some measurements on my screen (yes ruler on my comp screen) and then measured my car, it looks like my a full kamm would be 5.5" above the rear deck. I'm going to try and get a SL1 bumper for cheap at a JY, I think it would make grill blocking and air damming much easier.

Thanks so far. I promise, one day I'm actually going to do something. So far all I've done is pump up tires to 35psi (2 days ago), slow down to 62, and now 60 this week and removed my rear spoiler.
