Planning on modding my 93 Festiva a little, but it has to be cheap, and I want to make sure I get the most bang for the tiny amount of bucks I'm willing to spend.
I'll have time in a couple of weeks, so I plan on dropping off some extra weight first (AC system, rear seat) and then maybe doing a couple of the easiest mods.
I did a lower grill block. I used sheet metal drilled directly into the bumper. I will need to drill a small hole for the radiator come summer but it works great so far. No overheating issues and helped my city MPG because it actually reaches operating temp on my short drives. I'll get pics up later.

I'm planning an air dam once I find materials. I'm trying to mostly use stuff I have laying around to keep with the cheap theme.

MetroMPG, Thanks man. I am much happier with the second rendition.

Pu241, Any idea where in walmart I would look for this stuff? Arts and crafts or school supplies maybe?
