I joked about it once. I am positive that none of us have replaced body panels with coroplast, so I am pretty sure that none of us would approve of that one.

funny thing, i drove my massive company van and noticed it coasted way farther due to all the enertia from the weight of a argo van, if the car is to light it will not have as much coasting power, which could hurt MPG, this vx idea is to make the car as light as possible, boring, anyone can do that but to scientifically make the car more aerodynamic you dont even need to take out weight just drop the CD, also which ecomodders car isnot practical?! everysingle car ive seen on here is practical, check out the eco mods on my jetta[IMG]http:/[/IMG]
