I would love to, but I don't have a long enough tape measure here at home since all my tools are at work. I am also off the next 4 days
How about size 13 shoe steps?
After performing aeromods, I am sure my mileage will increase, but doing aeromods (minus the mirror and antenna) like the grill block and fender skirts make major appearance changes to the car, but in my opinion, they have to look "factory" or professional before I would consider installing them.
I have already lost some mudflap material on an experimental grill-block, because the adhesive did not hold at 55 MPH and one side flew off. I am now attempting to make an "internal" grill block, where the backside of the bumper slots would be blocked off. This will require much more work, but will look much better than an external one.
Why an "Internal" Grill block?
Notice the way the grill on this car actually "sweeps" to the outer sides of the car. My idea is to channel the airflow that way by blocking from the backside. Being that the vertical cross supports are going to cause some turbulence issues I may make a recessed block with individual pieces cut to fit just flush with the vertical slots.
Hopefully I get some time this weekend and post some updates on it.
