I finally spent some time yesterday and today working on aero mods, about 3/4th done right now.

I finally mounted my interior convex mirror on the drivers side. Not sure if I will do the same on passenger side before deleting that exterior mirror. I am also using a Broadway convex rear view mirror... it is amazing, highly recommend to everyone http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040DXAWI. used coroplast and tape so far to replace side mirror.




I also updated my front grille block, it now blocks more air and is made of coroplast. Ironically, the corplast is from a "save money on gas" sign which I found in a parking lot.


Finally installed pizza pan wheels covers using zip ties. Will see how it holds this week, but I think they should work fine.


Last thing I am working on is a rear wheel skirt, so far have just a 1/4 length mocked up.


Hoping to see upwards of 40 mpg combined this next tank, and set a new record for trip mpg on my way home from work (above 45.5).
