I've realized what 'high performance' means. I used to think that it meant 'big hp and spending $3k on a paint job'. Now it's 'lets see how many trips to the beach I can make on 1 tank of gas!' (surfer). I've been looking at certain aeromods and I'm going to start with the wheel discs, I'm going to fiberglass my front bumper's vents out (it's cracked from a nasty accident anyway) and I'll do my rear fairings like the 5th gen civic on this site. I was thinking that I want to increase the downforce by making a custom venturi and underbody pan. Is there a point where too much downforce affects mpg/stability?

In others, 'hi', I'm a new member.
