The White Xb mods and stuff

Ok...well I am not new to the MPG game but, I have been lazy in recent months. The 27.6 mpg on my past tank (my worst to date) must have been a wake up call (was getting an inspection so I bet the Mechanic was ideling my car for an hour or something). Anyways I am planning on doing a few mods but, I want to keep everything as subtle and stock looking as possible.

Background info: I work for a plastics company so getting scrap acrylic. abs, styrene is fairly easy.

1) Installed LRR tires on 3/3/14 and pumped them to 44psi

2) Installing upper grill block tomorrow --- black ABS and will be tastefully done I will post some pictures

3) Once it warms up I am planning on installing a lower front air dam out of a big piece of white plastic (to match my paint)

4) Want to install smooth wheel covers. Thinking about going the Pizza pan route. Either in Silver, White, or black.
