Welcome to the forum! Good to see another project underway.

I'd advise against sharp corners on the air dam, though. You want smooth transitions for cleanest airflow.

Is it auto or manual? (Psst... make a garage entry for it... Add new vehicle.)

Have you got MPG instrumentation? (ScanGauge/Ultragauge) That's my #1 first bits of advice.

I liked your explanation of how the new shocks helped efficiency.
